Drone Interest Group
The Drone Interest Group (DIG) is a community of GSMA members from around the world. Participants in the DIG are either already working with uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), uncrewed traffic management (UTM) suppliers and other ecosystem players or are just approaching this area and want to learn more. The community, which focuses on the use of cellular communications and services for UAS, is exploring opportunities for commercial mobile services that are relevant to the aviation industry. DIG members share industry knowledge and challenges with a view to positioning mobile operators as key enablers for autonomous UAS operations and, in particular, to stimulate and accelerate the growth of beyond-visual line-of-sight operations.
The DIG is open to all GSMA members and runs quarterly virtual meetings. Please contact us at [email protected] to see how you can take part or join directly on the GSMA Member Gateway (available for GSMA members only) for more information.
