AT&T Restores Cell Service in Puerto Rico with “Flying COW” Drone

In Puerto Rico, thanks to fast-track approval given buy the FAA, drones are now part of the recovery effort. Specifically drones are being used to restore voice, data and Internet services to the entire island. A great example of this is the AT&T "Flying COW" (Cell on Wings). The deployment of the "Flying COW" in Puerto Rico is unique because it's the first time a drone has been successfully used to connect residents to services post disaster. The project has been hugely successful too; AT&T is reporting 80% of Puerto Rico's cell customers now have service (up from 63%).

What is a Drone?

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, an unmanned aerial system (UAS), an unpiloted aerial vehicle and a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. It is remote controlled, sometimes by phone or tablet, but usually with a remote control system. More advanced professional drones may even require multiple operators.

More definitions are available in our glossary.
