Interesting news coming out of the USA, with a three-year aerial research project resulting in the development of “the first elements of a millimetre-wave (mmWave) wireless communication system. According to a report in Aerospace Testing International, researchers the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and New York University Tandon School of Engineering have developed and tested the UAS-based mmWave channel measurement system and relevant channel models to help understand how radio signals propagate in the air and around buildings. This new approach has the potential to enable a high data rate communication between drones and ground robots for use in urban safety and emergency response missions. We’re keen to see how these developments translate into the Australian market.  If you’re interested to learn how the Plan Safe team can assist with your next aerospace project, please don’t hesitate to reach out: 📧 [email protected] 📞 1300 030 361
