UAVs, or drones, could drive extraordinary societal transformations. Imagine a future where autonomous delivery drones, flying taxis, and air ambulances soar through the skies, taking mobility to new heights and redefining how we commute and where we live and work. In this talk, we will discuss how wireless networks could help make the fly-and-connect dream come true by shifting the current ground-focused paradigm and providing ultra-reliable 3D aerial connectivity.

In this talk, we will discuss how wireless networks could help make the fly-and-connect dream come true by shifting the current ground-focused paradigm and providing ultra-reliable 3D aerial connectivity.
