Floating cell towers are the next step for 5G
During the final session of the sixth annual Brooklyn 5G Summit on Thursday, Silicon Valley and telecom leaders discussed whether aerial drones and balloons could finally begin providing commercial mobile phone and Internet service from the air. … The availability of 5G network technology could also make it easier from an air traffic control standpoint, to track and manage a large group of drones, said Giuseppe Loinno, an Assistant Professor in electrical and computer engineering at the New York University [Tandon School of Engineering] and director of the Agile Robotics and Perception Lab.
