A2Z Drone Delivery Launches World’s First Multi-Use BVLOS Drone Dock Network
2Z Drone Delivery, Inc, developer of commercial drone delivery solutions, has launched the world’s first multi-use drone dock network operating beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) with a single operator managing a fleet of four drones simultaneously. Conducting both autonomous patrol of protected urban waterways, supporting water rescue, and expediting regional retail delivery, the deployment marks the company’s first as a drone service provider. In this first phase of the network rollout, A2Z Drone Delivery is partnering with the Anji Bureau of Water Resources to conduct autonomous aerial patrol of the Bureau’s protected waterways and reservoirs that weave through the urban setting of Anji City, China. Leveraging its recently-released A2Z AirDock and companion Longtail UAV platform, the multi-purpose patrol drones are also supporting search and rescue operations on the waterways by delivering flotation devices via its onboard commercial drone winch to assist swimmers in distress.
