There are certain times in every wireless company’s life when their network needs a boost, whether it’s because of a natural disaster or the pope’s in town. On the heels of AT&T’s announcement that it’s testing drones as flying LTE antennae, Verizon Wireless says it’s been doing basically the same thing, and has been working on it for the past few years.
Verizon announced that it’s running a trial today out of Cape May, NJ today with a high-altitude drone to show how the company’s 4G LTE network could “help first responders and emergency management personnel enhance disaster recovery efforts.”
