Powering lift-off for drones: benchmarking spectrum and readiness for UAVs
Please sign in or register for a free public account to access this report.
Commercial drone deployment at scale would allow drones to seamlessly integrate into our daily activities and transform various industries, adding economic growth. However, achieving this requires a supportive regulatory framework. GSMA Intelligence assessed drone regulatory readiness and spectrum availability across 13 countries in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. The readiness level of each country varies based on several indicators, including the availability of licensed mobile spectrum. The realisation of the drone opportunity will depend on the ability of countries to enable a supportive regulatory environment.

Race to the top: assessing and accelerating drone readiness in the UK, the G7 and other leading nations
This report assesses the UK's position on drone market readiness against a set of international peers. From this analysis, we can define best practices that can be applied domestically to help UK policymakers advance an effective regulatory system to realise commercial drone flight at scale - and unleash the economic, social and environmental benefits this entails
UAVs: commercial applications and the opportunity for mobile operators
Advancements in drone capabilities, wider availability of hardware, and affordable equipment pricing mean uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are moving towards early commercial adoption. Mobile operators have opportunities with strong monetisation prospects. However, few have detailed a comprehensive strategy. To be ready in two to three years, they need to act now.
Skywaves and airwaves: the case for drones in emergency response
UAVs are moving towards early commercial adoption, following advances in drone capabilities, improved availability of hardware and affordable pricing of equipment. This research highlights the crucial role mobile operators play in facilitating drone applications for emergency response, and how they have several routes to monetise applications.
