Abstract :This research is based on the design, development and control of long range quadcopter using 4G network. The developed Quadcopter has capability to be controlled from any location where 4G network is available. The Quadcopter consist of mainly 4 components including: flight controller, motors and propellers, electronic speed controller and communication module. The first three components are same as used in conventional Quadcopter where as the long range is achieved with the help of unique communication system. The communication module of this Quadcopter consists of Nodemcu with 4G wifi module and android based mobile phone. A graphical user interface is developed in blynk software through which Nodemcu is control which results to control Quadcopter from distant place. 4G based quadcopter has an advantage over conventional RF module based quadcopter which has limited coverage area. Automatic mission is accomplished with Quadcopter using GPS based navigation system.
