Hogreen Air unveiled a drone control system utilizing LTE communication at the '2018 Gwangju International IoT·APPLIANCE·ROBOT Fair,' held from July 5th to 7th at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju.

Recognizing the limitations of conventional drone connection methods such as RF, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, which often face disruptions due to the limited control distance, Hogreen Air developed a control system using LTE communication to address the safety concerns related to frequent disconnections and enhance stable drone flight.

Hogreen Air's LTE communication system module can be attached to existing drones for usage. It enables drone control and data transmission using LTE networks, integrating with applications to perform various missions. As it supports both LTE and RF communication methods, even if issues arise with one communication method, the drone can be controlled using the alternative communication method.

Notably, the drone control is possible from anywhere as long as LTE networks are available. In 2017, the company successfully conducted a long-distance remote control demonstration using LTE communication in Germany, approximately 9,300 km away.

The '2018 Gwangju International Robot Industry Fair' showcases the latest technologies, including IoT (Internet of Things), service robots, handling robots, processing robots, assembly and disassembly robots, testing and inspection robots, software technology, smart appliances, drones, 3D printing, and more.
