In the future will there be the ability to connect multiple drones to one herelink controller? also the ability to connect more than one controller to the same drone?

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing the ongoing developments.  
Do you have an estimated date for when the next firmware update will be released?

Is there actually already a way to pair two herelink remote control to one receiver?

How does the air unit decide which of the groundcontrol station is in control in case two ground station connected to 1 air unit.

You cannot pair two ground stations to the same air unit at the same time yet.

Is there a way to connect two different aircraft with two different controllers to one groundstation laptop running UgCS?  
Where as before we would link two different RFD modules, now because of the hotspot we can’t link 2x separate WiFi signals. I’ve tried a router but I can only link it to 5.8ghz frequency and UgCS doesn’t pick it up.
