\tZTE used a remote-controlled passenger drone to highlight its ambition to enhance its position in the 5G era by offering devices and applications to a wide range of industries.<\/p>\n
In a demonstration at operator Hutchison Drei Austria\u2019s (H3A) innovation centre in Vienna, the Chinese vendor explained it provided the 5G-based control module for the drone, noting remote operation would help ensure safe navigation and landings.<\/p>\n
The vendor cited potential uses for the drone in agriculture, infrastructure inspections, and taxi services.<\/p>\n
Jan Trionow, CEO of H3A, added the drone is just one potential application of the low-latency and high reliability 5G technology offers. \u201cThe world of innovation is ahead of us and we want to be leading the development with our partner ZTE,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
ZTE Austria CEO Christian Woschitz said the joint development with H3A highlights the vendor\u2019s commitment \u201cto the Austrian market and to the European market\u201d. Austria will act as a hub for the company\u2019s work in Central and Eastern Europe, he added.<\/p>\n
