NOKIA'S LEAP INTO DRONE MARKET WITH THE HEXACOPTER DRONE
Searching for the Nokia drone price? Nokia has not published an official figure yet, because its hexacopter is a 5G connected, drone-in-a-box system sold to industry rather than a consumer gadget. Nokia Drone Networks pairs an armored, European-made hexacopter with an automated docking station and CE-certified hardware, built to fly in dust, water and extreme weather for demanding industrial operations.
What is the Nokia hexacopter drone?
In a world rapidly embracing cutting-edge technology, Nokia has taken a giant leap into the drone market with a hexacopter tailored for industrial usage. With an armored body, industry-grade components and 5G compatibility, the Nokia drone is built to withstand extreme environmental conditions. It is part of bold initiatives in a sector forecast to grow by roughly 20% annually from 2022 to 2028. According to Nokia's newsroom, this is the first CE-certified 5G automated drone-in-a-box solution for public sector and industrial operations.
What can the Nokia drone do?
Described as an industrial powerhouse, the Nokia hexacopter is a robust, adaptable and intelligent aerial tool with a body that resists dust, water and extreme weather. Its versatility comes from features like a dual gimbal camera module, integrated RGB lighting, a thermal camera, and an array of accessories including projectors, speakers and sensors, making it customizable to specific industrial needs. The standout feature is 5G compatibility, enabling seamless data transmission and remote, beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations for sectors that need swift, high-grade data collection in tough environments. As Unmanned Systems Technology reports, it can fly up to 50 minutes and cover distances of up to 30 km.
How does the drone-in-a-box system work?
Manufactured in Europe, Nokia's drone uses a dual gimbal camera with 30x optical zoom and a programmable dock for automated loading, a testament to continental technological prowess. A fully automated docking station with precision landing and quick charging adds convenience and efficiency, while safety functions reduce operational risk and downtime. As Yanko Design notes, Nokia is moving from phones to drones with RGB and thermal cameras on board. Pricing and release details remain undisclosed, so the industrial world awaits this drone's full market breakthrough.
