Revolutionizing Drone Communications with RF over Fiber (Download)
The strategic landscape of modern warfare and critical infrastructure monitoring has undergone a dramatic transformation, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, as they’re commonly known, playing a central role. Nowhere is this shift more visible than in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where low-cost drones are being mass produced and deployed at scale.
These devices are no longer confined to reconnaissance. They’re pivotal in both offensive and defensive operations, whether surveillance, tactical strikes, or communication support.
Outside the battlefield, drones have become vital tools in a wide array of enterprise applications. Utility providers now employ drones for monitoring above-ground infrastructure like gas pipelines and power lines. At sensitive sites, such as nuclear facilities, drones offer a safe and efficient means of inspection that minimizes human exposure to hazardous environments.
