UK firms plan to use 5G drones
 

Harder for yobs and anti-vaxers to set on fire

Plans to beam 5G signals to the public via drones that stay airborne for nine days at a time have been announced by two UK firms.

According to the Beeb, the cunning plan is to use antenna-equipped aircraft powered by hydrogen to deliver high-speed connectivity to wide areas.

Stratospheric Platforms and Cambridge Consultants say they could cover the whole of the UK with about 60 drones.

Pilotless planes will fly at about 60,000ft up and provide a 5G signal to mobile devices

The Cambridge-based companies say they would run the service in partnership with existing mobile operators.

They are already backed by Deutsche Telekom, which hopes to trial the technology in rural southern Germany in 2024.
