The world of drones experiences constant breakthroughs and developments. It is fast grasping a huge consumer following in the new era of technologicaladvancements and innovations. In this regard a another development has been made in the drones sector, wherein, Qualcomm Technologies have introduced a new platform that scale the production helping drone manufacturers deliver powerful Industrial 5G Drones.
The company has unveiled one-of-its-kind drone platform and reference design that would come with both AI and 5G capabilities. The new solution could lead to acceleration and development of Commercial Drones Market and bring forth new possibilities for industries that have been vying to adopt drone solution ad make use of benefits that come through intelligent edge.
The novel Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Platform is powered by QRB5165 processor and builds upon latest IoT devices of Qualcomm Technologies. The company stated that the new solution could potentially help realizing the dream of next-generation, low power, high-performance 5G drones. This is not less than a breakthrough within unmanned flights.
The company states that their new platform is equipped with cutting-edge capabilities wherein it merges several complex technologies into a single strictly integrated drone system. Platform has the ability to support applications that consistently evolve. Further, the system could even have new ad interesting application within various sectors such as security and emergency response, inspection, delivery, mapping, defense and film and entertainment.
The system, Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Platform, is a brilliant development as it is purpose-built for drone development and is also equipped with intelligence features and enhanced autonomy. Moreover, it rings premium connected flight proficiencies to commercial, industrial and enterprise segments.
The high-performance and heterogeneous computing at extremely low power consumption facilitates power efficient interference towards the edge of Machine Learning and AI enabling functioning of fully autonomous drones. In addition, ground breaking camera functions that provide for amazing image capabilities and performance. With attractive features like 5G ad Wi-Fi coactivity, the system also improved flying ability of drones beyond visual lie of sight (VLOS) thereby ensuring a much safer and reliable flight. Currently, safety measures alone cannot provide for commercial and industrial drone safety, particularly when taking on beyond Visual Lie of Sight Tasks. This is why Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Platform comes with a Secure Processing Unit in order to meet with te modern drone demands vis-a-viscybersecurity protections providing for top-notch safety requirements and data-protection.
Now the company is set to work with Verizonin order to complete the networktesting of the platform proposed. The team involved has hope that the system would eventually be capable of 5G mmWave which could be offered through Verizon Thingspace Marketplace.
