Overview
The ALIENTECH DUO 3 is a triband Signal Booster and antenna range extender designed for UAV control and video links. It operates on 2.4G, 5.2G, and 5.8G bands to enhance command and telemetry for DJI (e.g., Mavic 3 Pro/Mini 4 Pro/Air 3), Autel, Parrot and FPV drones. The device supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, spread spectrum, multicarrier modulation, timedivision duplexing, and digital video transmission (including OcuSync/Lightbridge), with automatic frequency switching and channel selection to help reduce interference.
Manufacturer data indicates the DUO 3 increases effective range by over two times versus DUO II and is equivalent to approximately 510 over stock antennas. A new chipset targets higher data throughput (stated as up to 4 faster than DUO II). MUMIMO with dual transmit/receive improves signal robustness. The aluminumalloy frame aids durability and heat dissipation, and the builtin 3.7V, 3000 mAh battery supports extended operation. The unit is described as FCC and CE compliant.
