About

Elistair manufactures tethered drone systems for surveillance and communication applications, providing continuous aerial support for defense, public safety, and industrial sectors. The company offers tethered drone boxes and stations designed for extended flight times that far exceed the limitations of conventional battery-powered drones. These solutions enhance situational awareness and enable rapid deployment for various operational needs. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lyon, France, Elistair has raised approximately $8.3M in Series B funding from investors including StarQuest Capital, OMNES Capital, EIC Fund, and Boundary. The company's tethered drone technology provides persistent aerial observation and telecommunications relay capabilities by supplying continuous power and data transmission through a tether cable, enabling drones to maintain position for hours or days rather than minutes, which is essential for border surveillance, event security, and emergency communication networks.
