In September 2016, two major communication companies have announced a new partnership where the combined
technologies of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), or “drones”, and cellular
technology are being projected for use in portable 4G-5G LTE reception, which
can be used for multiple communication purposes and also for emergency
management uses. In addition to many
forward leaning and positive cellular applications, there are negatives; such
as Wi-Fi hotspot hacking opportunities which could result in the loss of Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) or government and/or corporate breaches. This information is being supplied for your situational
awareness.
