Qualcomm readies 5G and AI drone platform

The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. Qualcomm is unveiling its platform that enables aerial drones to tap both 5G and AI technologies. The Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G platform aims to accelerate development for commercial, enterprise, and industrial drones to help enterprises capture data from drone cameras and process that data at the edge of the network. The platform is powered by Qualcomm's QRB5165 processor, and it builds upon the company's latest internet of things (IoT) offerings. The idea is to enable a new generation of low-power 5G drones that can capture a lot of data with cameras and transmit that data via 5G to an operator or send it longer distances over a network.
