Recent developments indicate operators are addressing these issues by forming public\u2013private partnerships and collaborating with UAV specialists to establish channels to market and unlock new revenue streams. In such partnerships, operators can assume various roles, ranging from basic network support for UAV missions to providing comprehensive, end-to-end UAV services. Early commercial interest in these services will likely derive from use cases such as energy-grid inspections, oil and gas infrastructure checks, port operations and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/e-and\/e-makes-5g-drone-push\/\">Mobile World Live<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/operators\/proximus-takes-aim-at-rising-drone-threats\/\">Mobile World Live<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>e&amp; is set to introduce 5G-enabled drones in partnership with the UAE Cyber Security Council, aiming to enhance the nation&#8217;s drone traffic management.
