(Corona, CA) – Yuneec International and Mobilicom have entered into a strategic partnership to offer the enterprise and government market new advanced solutions for their unmanned aerial needs. The cooperation focuses on the development of two innovative commercial and government drone solutions, based on Yuneec´s commercially proven H520 hexacopter, well-known for its high reliability, safety and precision, and Mobilicom´s innovative SkyHopper and LTE technology. Both sUAS solutions, which will be called H520 SkyHopper and H520 SkyHopper LTE, will incorporate high-end cyber security and encryption, dedicated frequencies and interference-avoidance capabilities, and will be offered as customizable, flexible and scalable end-to-end solutions.
“In listening to the needs of our commercial & federal customers within this segment, it was our objective to come up with a solution that would answer their pain points. The partnership with Mobilicom enables us to successfully address these unmet needs and offer them two groundbreaking products”, stated Joe Schamuhn, VP of Global Sales for Yuneec International.
High End Security & Interference Avoidance
The commercial & government drone solutions will provide a highly secure offering that includes high-end validated encryption, dedicated and ISM frequency bands, software defined radio or LTE + secured server data links and ISM jamming resistance.
