Plan long-range and cinematic flights with confidence. Wbando predicts signal degradation before you take off.
Your radio signal travels in a straight line — this is where the marketed flight range numbers come from. Clear line of sight means full control. But the world isn't flat.
Terrain casts a radio shadow — and what you can't see on a flat map can kill your link. Wbando scans global elevation data to predict exactly where those shadows fall.
Vegetation absorbs and scatters your signal with every meter of foliage. Wbando factors canopy height into every line-of-sight prediction — critical for flights over forested mountains.
The radio spectrum is crowded with emitters you can't see. Wbando maps thousands of them around your flight zone so you can plan around interference hotspots.
Radio waves travel in a thick elliptical volume — the Fresnel zone. If terrain clips this zone, your signal drops — even if you can see the drone. Wbando flags marginal zones early, so you don't find out mid-flight.

We model terrain, canopy, and radio propagation together — so you see the full signal picture before takeoff.
"Sometimes I want to fly behind a mountain, but it's hard to say how low I can go to not lose signal."
"It's a major task planning flights in the Swiss mountains. Often it's more of a feel than knowing how far I can push."
"It could actually prove invaluable to someone who's doing complex orchestrated flights."
