INVOLI has entered into a partnership with AirMarket following the successful collaboration during an official Canadian trial. The trial aimed at generating data for future regulations and delivering commercial cellular-enabled unmanned traffic management (UTM) services. The goal of the two companies is to offer integrated services to the drone market, in Canada and beyond.

Involi offers low-altitude air traffic data for secure integration of unmanned aerial vehicles into existing air traffic. The technology makes air traffic data openly accessible and makes the flying objects in the sky safer and more efficient.

Involi was a member in one of the two teams selected for Canada’s official RTM (Remotely Piloted Aerial System Traffic Management) Service Trials. The trials aimed at generating data and experience that would be used by Transport Canada to develop regulations for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) drone operations and the delivery of commercial cellular-enabled unmanned traffic management (UTM) services.

Led by AirMarket, the team was to execute official service trials. INVOLI contributes to the trials with its unique surveillance system, by deploying a network of receivers onto existing cellular infrastructure of telecommunication company TELUS, capitalising on its experience in Switzerland with national telecommunication company. The network will gather data on cooperative air traffic enabling the team to benefit from comprehensive air traffic awareness (including at low altitude) and in general from an increased level of safety of operations.

It is in this context that the first bricks of the partnership between INVOLI and AirMarket were laid, the two companies seizing the opportunity given by the success and technical integration within the trials to further their collaboration to the market. The partnership aims to offer standard, scalable solutions to the UAV industry by building upon the experience of both INVOLI and AirMarket to generate innovative technologies, particularly within the telecommunications’ framework, and by bringing the lessons learnt during the trials to the entire industry.

“We are excited for this strategic partnership, which will allow both our companies to offer integrated services to the drone market, in Canada and beyond” stated Lindsay Mohr, CEO of AirMarket. He added that “INVOLI’s technology is rather unique, as is its team, and we look forward to operationalizing this airspace surveillance framework in rural environment to start with”.
