AirborneRF is a Key Enabler for MNO Services in the Drone Industry; why? #MNOs have a broad range of capabilities that can be specifically tailored to meet the unique demands of #UAS operations and generate revenue opportunities based on the newly published Global UTM Association (GUTMA) paper. These capabilities go beyond basic connectivity, offering enhanced services that ensure safe and scalable drone operations. AirborneRF plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between telecommunications and aviation. By integrating dynamic data from mobile networks, AirborneRF provides essential insights for #BVLOS drone operations, ensuring they are safe and reliable. Through AirborneRF, MNOs can offer real-time connectivity insights, ground risk assessments, and flight route optimization services to UAS operators. This not only enhances operational safety and efficiency but also creates new revenue opportunities for MNOs by providing value-added services such as dynamic ground risk assessments and real-time network alerts. AirborneRF’s Key Contributions to MNO Services: ✅ Connectivity Insights: By providing real-time network quality information along flight paths, AirborneRF ensures UAS operators maintain consistent communications throughout BVLOS missions. ✅ Ground Risk Assessments: AirborneRF delivers critical data on population density and ground risks, allowing operators to adjust routes and comply with regulatory requirements. ✅ Real-Time Alerts: Integrated with UTM systems, AirborneRF delivers real-time network updates, ensuring any potential disruptions are managed to keep operations safe. ✅ GNSS independent, Alternative Position: AirborneRF delivers real-time information about the UAV position in the airspace, independent from GNSS systems, providing another redundancy layer for assuring safety and revenue opportunities.

How do #Telecom providers enter the drone industry? A more comprehensive role for MNOs involves offering End-to-End (E2E) solutions that encompass every aspect of the #UAS ecosystem, from connectivity and platforms to airspace integration and regulatory compliance, as well as the actual operation of the drones. This enables end customers to benefit from automated beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone services in an end-to-end manner, from a single go-to-partner, by just using the offered service. Swisscom’s Drone Network exemplifies how MNOs can provide full-service solutions, handling connectivity, risk management, and regulatory approvals in real-time. This positions MNOs as essential players in deploying scalable UAS operations across various industries, especially those requiring BVLOS capabilities.

Our co-founder Thomas Neubauer attended the Vodafone – Pioneers & Partners Event! Our team was deeply impressed by Vodafone's holistic approach and dedication to “Go Beyond,” presenting their visions and existing solutions on #ESG, #Analytics and #AI, #Security, #Drones, and other future megatrends. We are honoured and thrilled that we are one of the partners! Providing our AirborneRF capabilities to power the commercially operational hashtag #DroNet solution at Vodafone, we are pioneering and enabling new business opportunities with #BVLOS drone operations today.

#How can Telecom Providers enter the drone and aviation industries? In addition to providing #infrastructure as a service, #MNOs can elevate their offerings to #drone companies by integrating solutions that support end-to-end #UAS operations. This includes real-time #data processing, application services, project and workflow management solutions, flight control and sensor data post-processing, which can all be delivered as a Platform-as-a-Service to clients. Some MNOs are also considering flight management and #UTM platforms and services as part of their PaaS offering. It is also important to note that MNOs are typically starting with IaaS, moving up in the value chain to PaaS, as soon as they gain more confidence in the market. Our partner, Vodafone’s DroNet HUB, developed in collaboration with FlyNex, demonstrates this model effectively. By combining DroNet’s connectivity with a comprehensive platform, DroNet HUB supports full mission planning and execution, from route optimization to network coverage analysis. This enables drone operators to manage complex operations efficiently, making MNOs valuable partners in the UAS ecosystem. Do you want to learn more?

Telecom providers can easily enter the drone industry by offering essential connectivity services, such as #SIM cards and reliable data #communication for UAS operations, including command and control (C2) communications and support for other critical functionalities like real-time video streaming. Also, this offering provides additional information services such as #airspace connectivity information, ground risk and people density, as well as #satellite independent position data. A prime example of an IaaS offering is that provided by KPN Drone Connect. The Dutch MNO seamlessly integrates drones into its network with a KPN IoT SIM card. Once connected, drone operators benefit from KPN connectivity as well as from a series of value-added services specific to their use cases.

How do you access connectivity data for your #BVLOS drone flight? AirborneRF Self-Service Portal provides drone operators with real-time information about #cellular network connectivity. By analyzing data from mobile networks, AirborneRF allows users to predict and assess network coverage, ensuring a reliable Command and Control (C2) link during the drone’s flight. The platform also offers ground risk data using #population density maps, which are based on anonymized mobile data. This helps operators ensure safety and compliance with regulatory frameworks like the #SORA 2.5, which requires understanding the ground risks of an operation. Drone operators can use the portal to gather information necessary for pre-flight planning, such as evaluating the best flight paths based on connectivity and ground risk. This helps to meet the requirements of #BVLOS operational approvals and ensures that the drone can maintain a stable connection throughout its mission. During the flight, the portal provides real-time updates on connectivity status, allowing the operator to adapt to any changes in network availability or safety conditions.
