New York’s drone testing range will be using a 5G network to help advance innovation in unmanned aircraft systems.
The MITRE Engenuity Open Generation 5G Consortium has identified the Syracuse to Rome corridor as a prime location to launch the nation's first 5G UAS testing range, Gov. Kathy Hochu announced.
The consortium is leading UAS-over-5G research for emergency response, infrastructure inspection, package delivery and asset management. The corridor is managed by NUAIR, a New York-based nonprofit and member of the consortium. It works with a number of states on advancing 5G UAS operations.
The 100-square-mile testing range will include an experimentation hub dedicated to 5G beyond-visual-line-of-site testing and long-range flight paths, a capability that will be critical to safe and secure commercial unmanned aircraft, New York officials said in the announcement.
