Recently, M1 limited ("M1"), The Infocomm Media Development Authority ("IMDA") and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore ("MPA") have partnered with Airbus for conducting coastal 5G standalone ("SA") network trials at Singapore Maritime Drone Estate.
The primary objective for conducting the 5G SA trials in real-world environment is to ensure whether UAVs can operate safely and efficiently throughout its flight and most importantly abstain them in designated drone-fly zones.
The trial aims invigorate confidence and examining potential security issues whilst stimulating the industry to adopt 5G for maritime domain.
As a result, Singapore’s day-to-day port operations, incident management and response, and work productivity will benefit.
Apart from that, M1 will provide 4G and 5G network planning, collection of data like coverage analysis and performance of mobile network in the operating areas, network parameter optimization and implementation of interference minimization methods.

Currently, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are implemented which provide positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services on a global or regional basis.
M1 will assess the use of 4G and 5G technologies to provide enhanced geo-location positioning information for all the phases of UAS flight using network-based information, which is more precise than the GNSS.

Airbus will provide a fleet of UAS for safe flight testing and will take responsibility in the integration of unmanned aircraft for the trials thus ensuring their safety and specific regulatory requirements.
Furthermore, these trials will make us better understand about evolving 5G standards, their feasibility and requirements for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) applications.
This will open up the possibility for safe adoption of 5G as a core technology used in unmanned aircraft designs and operations.

In addition to the coastal trials, M1 and Airbus have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to conduct connectivity trials for in-land areas thus enabling M1 and Airbus to address the growing interest in UAS for UAM for other industries.
How do you think these trials will shape Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations? Would love to know in the comments!
