Outlook and implications ............................................................................................19 Unlocking the drones opportunity ......................................................................................19 Executive summary Today, most unmanned/uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are restricted to visual line of sight(VLOS) flights, which means they can only operate close to the pilot, restricting drone applications.To effectively scale up commercial UAV operations, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) capability 5G is set to significantly enhance the commercial drone market by providing advanced capabilitiessuch as faster data transfer, lower latency and more efficient coverage, supporting BVLOScommercial drone deployments on a larger scale. However, to capitalise on 5G capabilities, UAVsneed to rely on licensed spectrum. Currently, UAVs mainly use unlicensed spectrum bands suchas 2.4 and 5 GHz for command, control and data transmission, which limits operations to visual Mobile network operators (MNOs) are well equipped to meet the licensed-spectrum requirementsfor UAVs.By leveraging dedicated spectrum, MNOs can provide the robust connectivity required However, a supportive and comprehensive regulatory framework is essential to enable drones’usage of mobile licensed spectrum. GSMA Intelligence developed a drone regulatory readinessassessment of 13 countries with similar economies and mature telecoms and ICT markets, whichindicates that only a few markets have established a supportive and comprehensive regulatory To fully integrate commercial drones into everyday operations, governments must establish clearpolicies for the use of licensed spectrum by UAVs. 1. Market update and context Connectivity is vital for expanding the capabilities of drones UAVs, commonly known as drones, represent a promising future method for transporting goodsand people, opening up a range of transformational applications. However, most UAV-basedservices are still confined to VLOS flights, meaning operation is only allowed in close proximity tothe pilot (typically up to 2 km). For commercial use cases to scale up, BVLOS flights are needed, Connectivity can expand the scope of drones in many other ways. For example, mobile networkscan be used to enable UAVs to transmit images, video and other payload data to third partiesduring flight. This is important for use cases such as streaming live video for security monitoring orsending crop health data directly for analysis and decision-making. Mobile networks can also 5G is poised to further boost the drone market by offering UAVs faster data transfer speeds andlower-latency connections. This advancement will facilitate real-time data transmission anddecision-making capabilities, opening up a host of new use cases. Future upgrades to 5Gnetworks will further boost the relevance of cellular networks to the drone industry.
