Hello.

I’m interested in finding out whether it’s feasible to connect a rover to multiple laptops via multiple telemetry modules, as depicted in the image below:

Each laptop would connect to 5 rovers and retrieve position data from them.

I’ve heard that setting the network ID of the telemetry to be the same could make this possible.

Are there any potential issues with this setup? I won’t be controlling the rovers; my intention is solely to monitor their states.

Use a single shared radio for all the PCs. Distribute the mavlink via ehernet cable between the PCs.
