How to Fly a Drone in Areas of Interference (5G Interference Included)
Today’s question is about flying drones in areas of heavy interference. Is it possible to accurately detect 5G interference and ensure safe drone flight?
5G networks are already here. And more are coming. Our caller for today, Tristan, wishes to scan his sites for any 5G interference before setting flight. What is the best and most accurate way to do so?
To answer today’s question, we share our own experiences of flying in areas with heavy interference. Listeners will learn about the various visible (and invisible) source of interference that can completely saturate frequency and possibly result in a drone crash. What are some tips and tricks for safely flying your drone in areas of heavy interference? Is it possible to detect interference before you set flight? And, how can you mitigate this risk of financial loss?
For all this and much more, tune in to our latest show now. Thanks for the great question, Tristan. Fly Safe!
