TDC NET
Overview
Ericsson Drone Mobility, together with TDC NET and ecosystem partners are working on 5G-enabled Communication Infrastructure for UAS to find innovative solutions that shall help in making vast pool of telecom intelligence accessible to the drone ecosystem, finding ways to ensure they are constantly connected to trusted and secured network- the Mobile Network.
Drones are today being deployed across multiple use cases like environmental and field inspections, precision farming, delivering lifesaving supplies or acting as first responders in accidents. We know if we can overcome the challenges to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight, drones can help us build a sustainable tomorrow.
