EVA and Unifly streamline the safe integration of drones from ground to sky
NEW YORK/ANTWERP, July 28, 2020 – EVA, the global leader for high throughput drone and robot infrastructure and Unifly, the global leader in Unmanned Traffic Management technology, are thrilled to announce that they are joining forces. Together, the two partners provide an end-to-end solution for the drone services market by combining EVA’s drone infrastructure (portable Vertical Stations) and Unifly’s cutting-edge UTM technology.
Through this partnership, EVA and Unifly help streamline the safe integration of drones into the airspace and offer operators – private organizations and government agencies alike – an easy-to-deploy solution to support their operational needs.
The Vertical Stations serve as the connecting nodes between sky and ground, providing charging and storage means, UTM system, and flight operation planning for given critical drone missions.
The resulting all-in-one drone infrastructure benefits a wide variety of use cases: medical supply and parcel delivery, disaster relief, logistics, smart cities, on-demand infrastructure inspection, etc.
Olivier LE LANN, CEO at EVA, Inc.: “We are now entering the golden age of the drone industry. EVA has always positioned itself as enabling the drone industry to accelerate its missions, accomplishing incredible missions such as delivering healthcare, seeding trees, rescuing people, establishing connections between people and businesses.
