FlytBase & Firnas Aero to Provide Turnkey Solutions for Aerial Security Patrols in Saudi Arabia
California, USA, July 20, 2020 – In light of current global events, utilizing drones for autonomous & repeatable aerial patrols to guard properties, assets and large facilities 24×7 has become a necessity. Companies are witnessing first-hand the business value of adopting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for aerial surveillance.
Enterprise applications require a robust security solution that encompasses everything from reliable hardware to intelligent, feature-rich software. With a limited workforce available on-site, and the uncompromising nature of the security sector, UAV solutions are rapidly becoming the key to monitoring people and property.
To help business users adopt an end-to-end solution that can easily scale to drone fleets for commercial operations, FlytBase and Firnas Aero have partnered together recently, with a focus on security and surveillance.
