5G has entered a period of large-scale construction, and the development of drones continues to benefit

The continuous acceleration of 5G construction, the continuous improvement of 5G networks, and the rapid expansion of 5G commercial value and applications have a significant impact on the drone industry.

Since the launch of 5G commercialization in 2019, my country's 5G development has pressed the fast forward button. Even in the extremely difficult 2020, my country's 5G construction has successfully completed the set goals. In this context, entering 2021, my country's 5G will completely usher in a period of large-scale construction. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the first half of this year, more than 970,000 5G base stations have been built in my country, and it is expected to open up to 1.4 million by the end of the year.

The continuous acceleration of 5G construction, the continuous improvement of 5G networks, and the rapid expansion of 5G commercial value and applications have a significant impact on the drone industry. As one of the important landing areas of 5G, drones have been further upgraded in application scenarios, market transformation, security, etc. due to the blessing of 5G under the already rapid development trend. The release and expansion of 5G has brought good news to the drone industry. .

As we all know, 5G has the remarkable characteristics of high speed, low latency, and large connections, which can improve the efficiency and security of data transmission. Relying on this advantage, it can first promote the upgrade of UAV communication, and then promote the improvement of UAV functions, and ultimately deepen the application. In simple terms, with the blessing of 5G technology, the scenarios where drones can land will become more abundant, and their application effects and value will be further deepened.

 

Second, the current civilian drones are the mainstream in the market, and the opening of consumer-grade and industrial-grade doors has supported the rapid development of civilian drones. However, with consumer-grade applications basically taking shape and gradually becoming saturated, industrial-grade UAVs are on the tuyere. The so-called industrial drones are drones used in logistics, inspection, plant protection and other fields. The emergence of 5G just opened up the situation for industrial drones.

In the past, 4G networks had serious shortcomings in terms of broadband, delay, and interference coordination. Therefore, it was difficult for the industrial-grade applications of drones to catch up with consumer-grade applications. However, the transmission advantages of 5G, as well as more dense and complete base station construction and network coverage, allow UAVs to break through the limitations of the 4G era, and make industrial applications appear efficient, stable and safe. The acceleration of 5G commercialization has accelerated the transformation of drones.

In addition, the rapid development of 5G also provides a strong guarantee for the safe flight of UAVs. For a long time, UAV applications have been criticized for two major problems, one is the high price, and the other is the frequent occurrence of security issues. On the second point, incidents of disrupting navigation, stealing secrets, and wounding people caused by the black flight have emerged one after another, and have attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Based on this, the industry has been looking for practical and effective solutions.

At present, one of the consensuses generally formed in the industry is to supplement technical prevention on the basis of legal supervision, that is, to use cutting-edge technology to reinforce the security defects of UAV applications and to use technology to prevent UAV security risks. The acceleration of 5G commercialization has brought good news for drone technology prevention. It can reduce the signal interference suffered by drones, and at the same time greatly improve the delay and accuracy of data transmission, effectively ensuring the flight safety of drones.

In summary, the large-scale construction of 5G has significant value for drones. In the future, with the large-scale popularization of 5G commercial use, it is believed that the drone industry will usher in tremendous changes. The integration and development of 5G and drones will play a complementary role to jointly promote the transformation and upgrading of related industries and technologies. We will wait and see!
