G LTE has partnered with Qualcomm to test drones on cellular networks, exploring their ability to operate outside of line of sight and stay connected to the internet to perform tasks. The partnership will focus on the use of drones for remote inspection, delivery and exploration and test G LTE's 4AT&T network coverage for drone use, signal strength and the ability of drones to move between networks. Trials begin later this month and the two companies are hoping that the tests could influence future regulations for unmanned aerial vehicles.
