Verizon, Skyward Drones, and 5G, Industrial Drones by GE, The Rising Popularity of American-Made Drones, DOI Publishes List of Government-Approved Drones

In the fifth edition of Drone Life News, Paul and Miriam McNabb of DroneLife and JobforDrones discuss some of the latest and most exciting news from the world of drones.

Our biggest story this week is about industry major, GE's foray into the drone industry. GE has partnered up with mapping provider Micro Drones as they attempt to gain a foothold in this rapidly growing drone market. With their extensive experience in the aviation and turbine industry, it remains to be seen if GE can succeed in this market where other American drone manufacturers have spectacularly failed.

Next up, you will learn how Verizon's plan to leverage 5G to massively improve drone flight performance. 

Don't miss our last story which is about DOI releasing a Blue sUAS list consisting of 5 government-approved drone solutions. With many drone manufacturers misusing the "Made in America" tag, the DOI has finally given some much-needed clarification on this subject.
