. The 5G national team led by China Telecom (2412) will seize the 5G business opportunity cake. In order to lay out 5G application business opportunities, Leihu Technology (8033) announced on the 25th that the company launched a 5G drone air base platform and cooperated with China Telecom to officially carry China Telecom communication equipment recently and conduct a live flight drill. In the future, it will not only seize the business opportunities of Taiwan's 5G drone air base platform, but also enter the global market.
Leihu Technology said that the company will aim to build drones to become innovative applications of 5G base platforms, and stated that unmanned helicopters can be used as temporary space base platforms in areas that require short-term or expanded services, such as disaster sites and large-scale gatherings and parades.
Leihu has a powered cable under the drone on the base platform. Through these devices, the drone stays in the air for more than 10 hours. When the signal in the disaster area is interrupted and it is inconvenient for personnel to enter, it can provide signals in this way, provide emergency disaster relief, or temporarily require a larger traffic, and it can also be provided in this way.
It is understood that the US ATT calls the application of this kind of drone "flying COWs", that is, "cell onwings". Unlike building a general base platform, it requires huge and complex investment. Feiniu's base platform can fly up to 400 feet. If it is deployed in higher air, it can have a wider coverage, but the marginal cost of has little increase in .
It is understood that Taiwan's 5G will open the spectrum as early as 2020 and will undergo commercial transfers from the end of 2020. In 2020, the scale of drones in the global telecom industry block is estimated to reach US$6.3 billion, and will continue to grow at an annual compound growth rate of 32%.
In addition to cooperating with China Telecom, Leihu has recently negotiated with the company about drone products and customization with the company, so that drones can become Leihu's niche products in the future. After the 5G commercialization is transferred, Leihu's drone will cooperate with China Telecom to attack the leading position of the 5G drone base.
