VANCOUVER -- A B.C. university is testing flights enabled with a 5G drone to show how medical supplies could be delivered to remote communities. InDro Robotics, a Vancouver-based drone research and development company, led the trials last week in collaboration with engineers at the University of British Columbia. The university says the trials were Canada’s first unmanned aerial vehicle flights over a 5G network and could lead to many future applications including delivering supplies to remote communities. Researchers explained the drones usually communicate using radio frequencies. But the two drones tested used UBC's 5G network, without any additional navigation from ground operators. They completed tasks such as picking up and dropping off a box. The 5G technology allows video and data to be shared live among multiple users.
