Application

High-volume Data Acquisition and Streaming for 5G Network Verification

As demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity rises, 5G mobile network providers face challenges in meeting consumer and business needs. The surge in high-volume data transmission—videos, pictures, video calls, and live streaming—requires advanced data acquisition and streaming to match user expectations. This demand presents both challenges and opportunities for innovation.

5G technology promises high-speed data, quality live streaming, and low latency. To verify 5G network performance effectively, it’s essential to implement robust data acquisition and streaming solutions that handle real-time data loads. This involves capturing vast information and ensuring swift processing and analysis to maintain optimal service levels. Autonomous drones can play a critical role by facilitating high-volume data collection. Operators can gather critical performance metrics quickly and efficiently, enabling them to optimize their networks proactively.

Solution 

Fly4Future Autonomous Aerial Robot for Telecommunication Services

High-volume data acquisition and streaming are critical for 5G  network verification, especially as we move toward a more connected world. In the field of 5G network verification, the innovative use of drone technology is proving to be a game changer. Fly4Future autonomous aerial robots can perform 5G signal coverage measurements with unparalleled efficiency, and also offer advanced inspection capabilities that provide a live, uncompressed view of network performance. This innovative approach enables real-time insights that are critical to ensuring optimal connectivity and reliability.

For our valued client, we developed a solution that enables secured big data transfer over 5G at speeds of up to 150 Mbps for advanced offboard analysis using heavy load tools such as gimbal thermal cameras and 128-layer 3D LiDAR. Large amounts of data are seamlessly transferred from the drone’s onboard systems to provider’s servers, ensuring speed and stability throughout the process. This innovative approach demonstrates that drone technology is not just a luxury but an essential solution for 5G network providers looking to effectively verify connectivity, reliability, and coverage.

At the same time, drones can ensure network integrity by autonomously inspecting telecom infrastructure – transmission towers. They can efficiently capture essential data and provide a comprehensive view of tower conditions. This technology enables the immediate transmission of data to human operators, allowing them to take action when problems are detected.

In summary, integrating Fly4Future’s drone technology into 5G network verification not only improves data collection and real-time insights, but also innovates the way telecom infrastructure is inspected and maintained, ensuring a more reliable and efficient connected future.
