Unlocking enterprise drone operations? Telecom Operators have the key to provide added-value services for BVLOS drone flights

As the drone industry continues its long-awaited expansion, it becomes clearer by the day just how pivotal a role UAS will play in our future.

Cellular connectivity, as of today, is crucial for safe BVLOS flights.

As the UAS industry becomes integral to diverse sectors, from urban delivery to rural infrastructure inspection, the demand for reliable and efficient communication networks intensifies. AirborneRF is an advanced analytics, data, and service platform designed to facilitate BVLOS drone operations by leveraging existing mobile networks and satellites from multiple sources. Our platform bridges the gap between the aviation and telecommunication industries, mapping airspace connectivity in real-time, offering automated data exchange with aviation systems, and ensuring high standards of safety and reliability in UAV communications.

AirborneRF Self-Service Portal: Revolutionizing Telecom for Drone Operations!

The AirborneRF Self-Service Portal transforms telecom providers' approach to connectivity and operational efficiency. It allows them to utilize their network infrastructure as a service, opening new revenue streams by providing critical connectivity data to drone operators for safe and efficient BVLOS operations.

The portal's intuitive interface simplifies integration, making connectivity data easily accessible and reducing barriers to entry. It offers detailed airspace connectivity insights, crucial for planning safe drone missions, performing risk assessments, obtaining flight approvals, and complying with regulatory requirements like SORA.

For telecom providers, this portal not only generates additional revenue but also positions them as essential players in the growing drone. Here are five reasons why the AirborneRF Self Service Platform is a game changer:?

1. Simple Interface:?

The self-service portal uses an intuitive and straightforward interface, making it much easier for drone operators to access critical connectivity data. Combining airspace measurement analytics, 4D airspace connectivity data, flight path analytics and ground risk data inputs, the software arranges the data in visual layers, giving users the precise information they need at a glance.The? ease of use in comparison with traditional API methods lowers barriers to entry and will accelerate the adoption of BVLOS among drone operators.

2. Safety and efficiency of BVLOS operations:?

Partnering with a range of telecom operators as well as satellite communication providers, AirborneRF combines multiple sources of connectivity data to ensure uninterrupted BVLOS operations and compliance with U-space regulations on mandatory connectivity. All required data is processed at the highest safety standards and no critical details about the mobile network operation are exposed at any time. The dynamic, real-time data provided by the AirborneRF Self Service portal is essential for drone operators conducting risk assessments, obtaining flight approvals, and complying with regulatory requirements such as the SORA. AirborneRF’s advanced real-time data analytics and machine learning algorithms significantly enhance operational decision-making by analyzing cellular connectivity and ground risk data. This new degree of reliability makes BVLOS operations safer and more scalable across the ecosystem, as operators can now receive instant connectivity predictions for flight planning and real-time updates during flight, thereby automating many aspects of the operations and ensuring compliance with safety and performance requirements.

3. Dynamic data on ground-risk and airspace connectivity:?

Overcoming the limitations of static census data, Airborne RF’s model utilises anonymised cellular mobility data to provide an accurate representation of population density in real-time, facilitating safer and more efficient ground-risk evaluations. In addition, the portal offers detailed, dynamic information about airspace connectivity, mapping out 3-dimensional airspace safety corridors in which UAVs can reliably be controlled.?

As well as providing drone operators with crucial connectivity data for operations, this mapping effectively operates as an early form of demand forecasting for telecom operators in the growing market of cellular-connected UAVs.

4. Aviation Systems Integration:?

AirborneRF not only processes the required airspace connectivity, it also exchanges the results with the respective aviation systems (e.g. UTM, FIMS, CIS) in an automated process powered by machine learning. Whereas this process has historically been manual, AirborneRF automatically delivers connectivity information to air traffic management systems, both early on in the flight planning phase for flight clearing, and in real-time throughout the flight operation. As a cloud-native, micro-services based solution, AirborneRF is able to provide maximum scalability in this capacity, and is capable of processing the radio connectivity of the entire US Airspace in under a minute.

5. Added Revenue Streams:?

AirborneRF represents a unique opportunity for telecom providers to tap into the growing drone industry and generate additional revenue by leveraging their existing infrastructure to provide drone operators with critical connectivity data. Through network-as-a-service (NaaS) capabilities, mobile network operators can offer value-added services for enterprises such as real-time connectivity monitoring, automated flight approvals, and dynamic ground risk assessments. These services enable drone operators to perform BVLOS operations more safely and efficiently. By integrating these advanced services, telecom providers can enhance their market presence, solidify their role in the future of connectivity, and create new revenue streams from subscription-based services, premium data packages, and specialized support for unmanned aerial operations.
