Drone connectivity

Newly-formed Drone Major Group has announced that it will be providing an integrated suite of products and services for the global drone industry. In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (27 September), Drone Major said that it is launching an online portal that will “facilitate the sale of drones and drone-related equipment and services throughout the world”. There will also be a membership scheme offering added-value benefits and ‘one-stop’ services, including guidance from the ‘Drone Major experts’. Drone Major said the platform’s current members comprise over 80% of the drone market, and include some of the world’s largest drone operators.

The Drone Major group includes SUAS Global (Surface, Underwater, Air, Space), an online network for the drone industry with over 40,000 global subscribers; the software development company Software Major; and Cyber Major, a fast growth risk assessment and resolution consultancy.

Robert Garbett, Founder and Chief Executive, Drone Major Group Limited, commented: “The advance of the drone industry towards full connectivity is inevitable. How long this will take will depend on the will of the industry and its ability to develop robust standards; the willingness of regulators to enable new applications; the advancement of technology to tackle the challenges ahead; and the ability of the innovators to understand what technology is available to enable their vision of the future.”
