Qualcomm’s 5G, AI drone platform: Price and availability

California-based ModalAI – which spun out of Qualcomm in 2018 – will serve as the manufacturer and distributor of the new solution, which is priced at $4,000 (5G modem extra). The company is already accepting pre-orders for the Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Platform, with the first development kit expected to ship in Q4 of 2021.

In the meantime, Qualcomm is working with Verizon to complete network testing of its latest drone solution. Sums up Chad Sweet, CEO, ModalAI:

Autonomous flight on the 5G network is here now – extending the flight path of drones to increase the value of a broad set of inspection capabilities. Better yet, the platform is open to everyone. Together, ModalAI and Qualcomm Technologies are advancing the adoption and commercialization of drone technology.
