Yuneec H520 SkyHopper UAS

Yuneec International and Mobilicom have announced a strategic partnership to offer the commercial and federal markets new advanced solutions for their unmanned aerial needs, based on Yuneec´s commercially proven hexacopter H520 UAS (unmanned aerial system) and Mobilicom´s SkyHopper and LTE technology. Both sUAS, which will be known as H520 SkyHopper and H520 SkyHopper LTE, will incorporate high-end cyber security and encryption, dedicated frequencies and interference-avoidance capabilities, and will be offered as customizable, flexible and scalable end-to-end solutions.

“In listening to the needs of our Commercial & Federal customers within this segment, it was our objective to come up with a solution that would answer their pain points. The partnership with Mobilicom enables us to successfully address these unmet needs and offer them two groundbreaking products,” stated Joe Schamuhn, CEO of Yuneec Europe.
