About Us

Know us:

Digital Micro Devices (DMD), was created in 1992, we design and manufacture in Spain (Europe) radio modules and electronic products with our own technology.

We are manufacturers. The electronic boards are designed and assembled in our factory in Spain.

We have long experience in 3D CAD, industrial electronic systems, automotive, RF modules, analog and digital systems, microcontrollers, firmware and software. In fact, we have our own RTOS real-time operating system for XLRS systems.

We are specialists in radio frequency modules in the ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) bands, 169Mhz, 434Mhz, 868Mhz, 902Mhz, 960Mhz, 1.2Ghz, 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz. We use the best RF chips in evolved and proven designs.

Our R&D technicians are experienced model airmen, some since 1981. More than 1200 flight hours in FPV-UAV alone since 2007.

Some history:

In 2007 we designed the first long range FPV and radio control equipment, we created the LRS (Long Range Systems) brand with ranges of 50Km for 1W of power. Something that only military or highly priced equipment had.
Now this range was already possible for small businesses and hobbyists.
The acronym LRS became famous all over the world and everyone was talking about LRS equipment for any FPV product even if it reached only a few kilometers.

In a few years and with the constant improvement of LRS products, we reached 200Km with the same power, 1W. So we changed the LRS brand to XLRS (Extended Long Range Systems).
The market for XLRS systems with ranges of 250km or more is not for amateurs. XLRS is sold to manufacturers, professionals, military or government.

Read more about the beginnings of the FPV with LSR and XLRS.

Our difference:

XLRS products are solid, designed from scratch with the necessary means and industrial experience, with the evolution and improvement of years of testing, experimentation, use and advice from some of our more than 1400 clients.
We have several product lines that we regularly manufacture and when the client requires it, we manufacture custom equipment.
Of course we are not perfect, we can always improve and that is why we manufacture short series of products to allow continuous changes and improvements to offer the best possible product at all times.

Gold Rush:

Today with the rise of drones, many catch the gold rush and believe that they can build GCS ground control stations and long-range equipment.

We are concerned that our potential clients know how to differentiate the true professionals who have spent years creating and improving products, from newcomers to the market who lie, have no manufacturing experience, do not know how to fly, are not model aircraft and who dare to integrate occasionally. (not to manufacture) by disassembling cheap RC transmitters and placing them inside suitcases to make GCS with prices that do not correspond at all to the final quality of the equipment.

Some say that they manufacture GCS but they really only made one or two and put the photos on the internet, we do not usually see any real manual, or serious datasheets and with complete information, it can be noted that they do not assemble series of these products.
On the other hand, we see how they do not have experience in manufacturing and they send the products to China to be manufactured, well in principle this is not bad, but we believe that if the manufacturer is not a real manufacturer, he does not control the quality or the process well, it can happen The same thing that is happening now with the chips: 75% are manufactured in Taiwan and that is not good for the rest of the world, it brings many problems that we are currently suffering in 2021.

Not having real experience, not having radio frequency instruments is something that happens often, we see how design, product and assembly errors are made with radio modems and antennas.

Objectives:

Flying reliably and safely even on flights of more than 150km:

With XLRS systems you will achieve it. They are systems very proven in practice and one of the best products on the market.

Facilitate integration:

If you are a manufacturer or integrator, we will help you choose and integrate the most suitable XLRS system for your product or if you need it, manufacture it to measure for a perfect integration.

Save time and costs:

If you are designing a complete UAV with all the systems, or a complex application with multiple UAVs, even if you have an engineering department, if you are not a multinational, it is difficult and expensive to group together a group of experienced engineers in all the necessary specialties: aeronautics, piloting, microcontrollers, electronics, firmware, software, radio frequency, antennas, telecommunications, etc. many times reality and time are imposed. It will surely be faster and cheaper to go to the market as soon as possible, using equipment from specialized companies like ours for the radio control and telemetry part, for example.

Continuity and Updating of XLRS Products
Production Strategy and Compatibility

 

At Digital Micro Devices (DMD), we maintain a strong commitment to the continuity and upgradeability of our XLRS products, ensuring that our customers can continue to enjoy their investments for the long term.

Long-Term Availability and Production

Our products have a typical shelf life of 5-7 years, with regular upgrades released on an annual or semi-annual basis.
DMD ensures that XLRS products will not only be available in the future, but that their compatibility with new technologies is assured.
We maintain a balance between continuous production and the integration of new technologies, allowing users to access new features without having to completely change their equipment.

Upgrade and Compatibility Strategy

Upgrades to XLRS systems are designed to maintain compatibility with early versions of our products.
Wherever possible, our upgrades are backward compatible, allowing customers to continue using their current equipment.
In cases where this compatibility cannot be guaranteed, we offer upgrade solutions that minimize the economic impact, allowing users to maintain the value of their investment.

Customized Solutions

Another key advantage is our ability to customize.
Through customized solutions, DMD adapts to the specific needs of each client, offering products tailored to specific projects.
This flexibility is one of the pillars of our offer, providing our clients with confidence that they will be able to maintain and expand their systems as technology evolves.

Conclusion

With DMD’s focus on continuous innovation, compatibility and long-term production, customers can be confident that investing in XLRS is a decision that will provide them with security and continued support in their operations.
