In 2018, Unmanned Life successfully ventured into the telecommunications industry by demonstrating the necessity of ultra-reliable low latency 5G communications for mission critical services in collaboration with BT, Verizon, and Ericsson. Use cases such as delivery of emergency kit, HD imaging for search missions, and temporary cellular network were demonstrated at King’s College London using a swarm of drones launched from the US by Verizon, on a dedicated 5G network slice within BT’s network.

Post the success of this demonstration, our ground-breaking platform is now being used by the world’s top telco and supply chain companies like Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica, Swiss Post, and other US and European logistics giants to enable industry 4.0 solutions across multiple economic sectors. It will also soon be used by Airbus, Nokia, THALES and Orange for 5G EDGE enabled autonomous services. The European Union has chosen Unmanned Life as part of a consortium to deliver a high-profile PPP to drive the European 5G EDGE, Drones and Autonomous Services vision.

As a result of all this, Unmanned Life is clearly now at the forefront of the massive and transformative opportunities created by the rapidly increasing confluence of 5G, EDGE, AI and Autonomy, as the leading Autonomy-as-a-Service provider over 5G.
