The mobile ecosystem is building a valuable partnership with the aviation industry \u2013 with a particular focus on connected drones \u2013 thanks to the ubiquity, security and reliability of cellular networks. The connected sky is a major new opportunity for mobile network operators, who can enable a wide range of drone-led applications across a multitude of sectors \u2013 indeed the mobile industry is the key enabler to growth in the commercial market for connected drones. Mobile networks can be used to identify a drone, establish its location, and securely communicate with it to help mitigate privacy, safety and security risks; they also offer drones connectivity at high speed over wide areas, making cellular networks the preferred solution for connecting drones.<\/p>\n

The GSMA represents the interests of the mobile industry in the commercial drone market, and to that effect has formed a strategic partnership with the Global UTM Association (GUTMA), in order to unlock the full value of cellular connectivity in drones. Those efforts are creating connectivity within and between ecosystems so that drones and other vehicles can safely redefine expectations of the airspace.\u00a0 The GSMA and GUTMA<\/strong> have an agreement to work more closely together to explore the challenges, logistics and opportunities related to aerial connectivity that could see a series of recommendations that lead to the creation of new standards around the world.<\/p>\n

Following the first edition of GUTMA\u2019s Connected Skies conference in Portland, Oregon, GUTMA has organised a series of short public virtual Connected Skies Webinars<\/strong><\/a>. The goal of this virtual forum is to make the bridge between telcos and aviation industries stronger and achieve synergy between the two industries. It will bring together decision-makers and influencers from both industries in order to discuss common business opportunities and alignment on the interoperability of services, solutions and standards. Here are two key sessions we encourage you to join:<\/p>\n
