Japan's first cellular drone www3.nhk.or.jp
NTT Docomo has carried out Japan's first trial of a drone using a mobile phone rather than wireless technology.
The mobile phone carrier jointly developed the system with a group of venture firms.
The drone transported a roughly one-kilogram package from a port to an island about 2.5 kilometers offshore at the tryout in Fukuoka City. The delivery took about 5 minutes with a top speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
Conventional, wireless-controlled drones have an operational limit about one kilometer. Mobile phones allow operation from tens of kilometers away.
Engineers plan to test if the drone operation affects mobile phone communications on land. They aim to put the drone into practical use from 2018.
