Announcement of TTC・XGP Forum Joint Seminar

We are pleased to announce that the XGP Forum will be co-hosting a seminar titled 'Latest Trends and International Use Cases in Drone Utilization' with The Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC)

Recent rapid advancements in drone technology have led to the expanded utilization of drones across diverse fields, including social infrastructure maintenance, agriculture, disaster prevention, and environmental monitoring. The integration of data communication and AI is expected to create new value. This seminar will cover cutting-edge application examples, primarily from Asia, such as atmospheric surveys, weather forecasting, and architectural renovation support using drones. We will also explore new use cases involving the aerial use (drone-mounted) of license-exempt sXGP and new use cases enabled by inter-roaming with mobile networks (Neutral Host). This seminar aims to provide a valuable platform for information exchange and networking for stakeholders interested in the next generation of drone utilization.
