History

2025: Drone Announcement

In early March 2025, the Czech company Primoco UAV SE introduced an unmanned aerial vehicle with integrated mobile base stations. The Primoco One 150 model is designed to create a temporary mobile coverage zone in hard-to-reach areas, at mass events and in emergency areas.

According to the press service of the telecom operator Deutsche Telekom (began to use this UAV), the drone is capable of rising to a height of up to 3 km, providing communication with a ground area of ​ ​ about 25 km ². The flight time is up to 10 hours thanks to an internal combustion engine with a propeller. The UAV is equipped with intelligent functions that guarantee a stable signal for devices on the ground.

The Primoco One 150 drone is designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic. Its built-in base station can connect to the ground backbone network on an air-to-ground basis, as well as via an air-to-space satellite. The system provides download speeds up to 200 Mbps and upload speeds up to 75 Mbps. Up to 1200 users can connect to the network at a time.

The dimensions of the drone are impressive: the length is 3.65 meters, the height is 1.25 meters, and the wingspan reaches 4.85 meters. These dimensions are due to the need to locate the base station and provide a long flight time.

The first commercial application of the flying base station took place during the Jizerska 50 ski race in the Czech mountains of Jizera. The drone flew at an altitude of 2.3 km, providing communication to a previously uncoated six-kilometer section of the route. The average network connection speed was 95 Mbps for download and 34 Mbps for data. The UAV was able to provide constant communication for 4460 participants in the main 50-kilometer race, without violating the boundaries of the protected natural area.

Deutsche Telekom Technology and Innovation Board member Claudia Nemat noted: In hard-to-reach places or in crisis situations, a flying drone with an antenna provides stable communication. Where necessary. And very effective. This approach complements Deutsche Telekom's wide range of tools for reliable mobile connectivity in many scenarios.[1]
