Drones are small aircraft that are becoming increasingly prominent. At first they were seen as a toy that was used to make it fly and handle it to your liking, but little by little there have been many companies and companies that have implemented them to do different tasks and save both time and money. Drones have many different and varied uses. One of them is the coverage of sporting events, achieving spectacular shots in sports such as soccer. It has also been tested in Formula 1. Now a new drone model with 5G technology has been created that will take sports broadcasting to the next level.
There is a new sport that has also emerged not long ago, which is drone racing. However, watching a live broadcast of one of them is a difficult task as it does not offer a high quality service.
The future of sports broadcasting
For this reason, both the T-Mobile company and the Drone Racing League have collaborated to create a drone with 5G that solves these technical incidents when broadcasting the races.
As for its infrastructure, it has a total of four propellers and weighs almost two and a half kilos. It has an estimated flight time of about five minutes per charge of its lithium polymer battery, which ensures that it is enough to fly the drone at speeds very close to 100 kilometers per hour.
What makes this small aircraft special and different is that it has 5G technology implemented , as well as different cameras that offer images with optimal resolution.
Making live broadcasts of the drone races with this aircraft will be possible by transmitting the signal through 5G to the different channels. Thus, as for drone racing, it will also serve to cover other sporting events.
Tomorrow will be its premiere with the public
This new drone is scheduled to be released tomorrow in the United States, to cover on television a baseball game sponsored by the same company T-Mobile.
It is a technology with a great future but that is still under development. Once further optimized, this drone will be able to provide racing drone pilots with a signal so that they can see the aircraft’s path in the first person, as if it were a car or motorcycle pilot, just than viewing it through a screen instead of being in situ in the vehicle.
Right now , for better connection quality, drone pilots use low-quality videos that are sent to their glasses via analog radio signals.
