Naver, Qualcomm join hands for 5G drones
By Lee Ji-yoon, The Korea Herald - Naver’s cloud computing arm Naver Cloud said Monday it has partnered with US chip giant Qualcomm and local drone developer Argosdyne to build the nation’s first drones running on the 5G wireless network.
Under the partnership, Naver
Cloud will build the 5G network infrastructure for drone services, while
Argosdyne will develop drones that can be operated to run on Qualcomm’s Flight
RB5 5G platform.
Flight RB5 5G is the world’s
first artificial intelligence- and 5G-enabled platform that boasts better
security and data control for drones.
“The 5G-based cloud service is
the ultimate solution that supports communication between devices and the
real-time data analysis and processing of autonomous drones,” said Kim
Tae-chang, business chief at Naver Cloud. “Naver, as the business operator of the
nation’s first Eum 5G network, will create new business opportunities for 5G
drones.”
The three companies plan to
unveil a prototype drone and carry out testing of the new technology in the
latter half of this year, with an aim to make its commercial debut by 2023.
