Teal, a leader in global connectivity and a trailblazer in eSIM technology, has forged a strategic alliance with Botlink, a prominent innovator in the drone sector.
This partnership aims to harness Teal’s proprietary, GSMA-certified eSIM technology to enhance Botlink’s critical drone command and control systems, ensuring dependable and efficient connectivity for drone operators.
The Botlink XRD2 is pushing the boundaries of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations globally. By utilizing the Teal network, XRD2 users will experience a important upgrade, gaining access to cellular networks across the globe. Botlink’s mission is to empower drone operators as they work to integrate drones into everyday life.
With the integration of Teal’s eSIM technology, the Botlink XRD2 allows users to swiftly navigate the complexities of maintaining “always-on” connectivity for their BVLOS missions.
Challenges in connectivity are prevalent in BVLOS drone operations, where consistent connectivity is essential for mission-critical tasks. issues such as lack of network redundancy, roaming limitations, and the management of multiple service providers can lead to ample time and financial losses for companies. Additionally, concerns about the phasing out of 3G networks, the transition to 5G, and potential network outages add to the complexity.
Teal’s patented, GSMA-certified eSIM technology directly addresses these challenges, offering a secure, global connectivity solution that is both flexible and scalable for businesses.
The collaboration between Teal and Botlink is poised to transform the industry, tackling the most urgent connectivity issues and effectively eliminating roaming challenges for Botlink.
