France-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) company Delair-Tech has signed a partnership with Telefonica Business Solutions, a provider of integrated communication solutions, to connect the DT18 and DT26X drones to a 3G network.
With an embedded Telefonica 3D SIM card, Delair-Tech says it will be able to offer its customers the ability to communicate with the beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drones, regardless of distance – including across several countries and territories.
The 3G connectivity will enable customers to conduct operations in difficult terrains and situations, such as steep reliefs and mountainous areas, or over long distances to monitor infrastructure, such as pipelines or railways, says Delair-Tech.
