Mobile-Enabled Unmanned Aircraft

Mobile networks are uniquely placed to support the safe usage of unmanned aircraft (UA), which are becoming increasingly popular with consumers and business users. Today UA are generally connected to a ground control system via limited range communications over unlicensed spectrum. As a result, they tend to be restricted to visual-line-of-sight (VLOS) applications, limiting their usefulness for enterprises in particular. In this report discover how mobile networks can support unmanned aircraft operations.
