How Are Drones Feeding Real-Time Data from the Rugged Edge

Drones are here to stay, and they’re making their presence felt in a wider variety of industries than ever before.

From mining to film, construction and much more, unmanned vehicles are collecting unprecedented amounts of data in real time and making it available for use. However, therein lies one of the blooming industry’s biggest challenges.

As more industries integrate drones and subsequent sensor data into daily operations and wireless network infrastructure evolves toward scaled 5G and next-gen WiFi, how will users maximize real-time drone analytics from surveying and more?

Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin sourced the insights of Jon Gaster in this episode of MarketScale TV. Gaster is the CEO of KSI Data Sciences, a company that delivers live video and telemetry data solutions, both as software and hardware, to connect professionals with on-site data from drones and other IoT devices.

The duo dove into use cases driving more adoption of drones, the challenges of managing data at the rugged edge and when there are multiple streams of real-time data coming in simultaneously, the opportunities being created by 5G’s expansion, security and safety risks, and much more.

They also spoke about the role drones could play in helping elevate first-response operations, which could help avoid or mitigate disasters.
