I think everyone began thinking Lightbridge was the superior transmission but as of late, many are thinking OcuSync is the better technology . . .

So, I’m back to check on this post a year later and I’m quite surprised on how good I stirred the pot on this topic. So it’s settled!
OcuSync > LightBridge

Lightbridge = Ocusync  

Hello there. Just for additional info, OcuSync has a range of up to 4.3 miles (7 km) with improved resistance to interference and a higher transmission throughput. At shorter ranges it can stream footage to you at 1080p resolution and also allows photo and video downloads at 40Mb/s.

So the answer is OcuSync is the more robust transmission system compared to Lightbridge and Enhanced WiFi?

Yes, that is correct. OcuSync is more advanced than the light bridge.

Thank you for answering my question and clarifying that OcuSync is DJI's most advanced transmission system.

I do have a question regarding Lightbridge used on the Inspire 2. On DJI's webpage for the Inspire 2, it says there is capability for 4G LTE support. How does Lightbridge incorporate cellular service and why doesn't OcuSync provide this capability if it's the more superior transmission system?
DJI's Inspire 2 Webpage:
-4G LTE Network Connection. The Inspire 2 supports control over 4G. USB Dongle and SDK development required. This high bandwidth allows the Inspire 2 to transmit high quality videos to a network server or can be used for ulta-long distance control. It also cuts video transmission latency to 500ms.

Thanks!

Hi David this will help you understand Ocusync v lightbridge and how they work.

That’s an interesting video, so the software emulates some of the hardware functionality in Ocusync.

Yes because it’s software based, so this is how they will be able to update orignal goggles through FW to work with new Mavic but only on 2.4ghz and you won’t be able to switch between 2.4 and 5.8 as the aircraft does.
It’s all very interesting.

Thanks hallmark007. I ha no idea about FHSS and OFDM or what the differences are between them. This video does a good job describing the technology in laymen terms.

That was a really great explanation. I just have one question. If you can update the goggles and controllers to work with the mavic 2, does that mean you can upgrade the aircraft occusync as well? It would be great if we get the occusync 2.0 on the P4P v2.0.

No, it's not that simple.

Sometimes there are hardware limitations - new hardware in the drone might be required to transmit OcuSync v2, but reception of OcuSync v2 might not in some cases.

Also, there could be marketing reasons - sometimes an old product won't get the newer features (via software update) simply because they want you to buy the newer version.
