AT&T will test drones on its LTE network through a trial with Qualcomm Technologies. The companies said the trials will analyze how drones can operate safely and more securely on commercial LTE networks as well as on “5G” networks.
“LTE connectivity has the potential to deliver optimal flight plans, transmit flight clearances, track drone location and adjust flight routes in near real-time,” said AT&T’s Chris Penrose, VP for “internet of things” solutions.
