In September 2019, Valqari teamed up with T-Mobile/Sprint to become the first smart mailbox to connect to their HTC 5G Hub with a demonstration at the grand opening of Curiosity™ Lab at Peachtree Corners, GA. Valqari first entered the industry in 2019 sharing their plans for revolutionizing traditional mailboxes with their Drone Delivery Mailbox. Valqari’s Strategic Partnerships & Industry Accolades This technology will debut in pilot tests later this year and recent test footage of the Drone Delivery Station can be viewed here. This entirely automated process provides communication technology that authenticates and verifies every delivery while also eliminating any potential interference that may happen during the final stage of drone delivery.
Plus, deliveries and pickups can easily be scheduled on Valqari’s app (available for iOS and Android). The seven and a half-feet high Drone Delivery Station can accommodate packages up to 12”x12”x9” and has automated route planning and scheduling features. Our new Drone Delivery Station is weatherproof, theft-proof and temperature controlled, which is critical for how items like food and pharmaceuticals are properly delivered.” What we are creating is the only universal, standardized, safe, and secure drone landing station that protects people, property, and packages. Current drone delivery applications don’t properly address the last stage in the delivery process. Ryan Walsh, CEO and co-founder of Valqari, said, “Our goal at Valqari is to keep paving the way for how people and businesses around the world send and receive packages in urban, suburban and rural areas.
This new innovation reinforces Valqari’s commitment to addressing common logistical problems associated with drone deliveries for residents, commercial businesses, pharmaceutical, meal delivery services and government. It also has the ability to accept packages numerous ways including winched packages, hover-dropped packages, or pickups and deliveries can be done via landed drones and traditional methods. The Drone Delivery Station is entirely drone agnostic and enables a fully autonomous point-to-point delivery to provide a reliable, universal location for drone deliveries and pickups up to 25 pounds. The drone delivery station also maintains a digital chain of custody throughout the entire delivery process to give users peace of mind knowing their packages are secure until retrieved.
This new technology offers a safe and convenient landing station with six separate storage units to accommodate multiple drone and traditional deliveries or pickups. Rakuten Global and Rakuten AirMap are also looking into the use of drone-based inspections during natural disasters and other emergencies.CHICAGO-( BUSINESS WIRE)- Valqari, the Chicago start-up that solved the last inch logistics problem with its patented universal drone delivery infrastructure, has launched its largest solution to date with the Drone Delivery Station. So far, Rakuten Mobile has conducted limited trials of base station completion inspections using drones in certain areas, and will now fully adopt drones for completion inspections nationwide. In typical completion inspections, an engineer climbs the antenna tower on which the base station is installed and visually inspects the equipment.Ĭarrying out inspections with drones aims to make the process faster, safer and cheaper.ĭrone captures of the base station and surrounding area are shared through Rakuten AirMap’s cloud-based inspection system, allowing staff working on the construction of the base stations to manage and share information efficiently and chronologically. The service will be delivered with Rakuten AirMap, which is Rakuten’s sister company under Rakuten Group and provides solutions to support safe and compliant drone operations to enterprises, airspace authorities and drone operators in Japan.Īs Rakuten Mobile expands its base station network across Japan, drones will take multi-angle photographs of the newly constructed base stations. Rakuten Mobile will use drones to complete inspections of base stations for its mobile network.
