### Communication Reliability Assessment Across Deployment Strategies
During public events or emergencies, UAVs equipped with real-time video streaming can support crowd management, anomaly detection, and rapid response coordination. These mission-critical tasks rely on Strategy 4 to maintain uninterrupted communication even under high load or partial system failure. UAVs' unobtrusive presence, mobility, and AI-enhanced analytics make them ideal for real-time situational awareness. These dual functions--inspection and security--are synergistic. A single UAV platform, managed via centralized scheduling and the same corridor infrastructure, can switch tasks throughout the day. This integration supports predictive maintenance, incident response, and enhanced service transparency, reducing costs while increasing responsiveness. Astana's Greenline district offers a suitable testbed for UAV corridor deployment. The area features dynamic traffic conditions, high-priority facilities, and prior UAV-based traffic data collection. A pilot loop along Turan Avenue, Syganak Street, Anet Baba Street, and Mukhamedkhanov Street--anchored by the Quantum STEM School--will support both infrastructure and security missions (Figure 16). This deployment will demonstrate how a structured UAV communication network can enable scalable, dual-purpose aerial services as part of smart urban governance. This area is broken down into segments based on use case priority and urban complexity, with each segment assigned a communication strategy according to its reliability needs (Table 1). This segmentation ensures a context-aware deployment, balancing communication reliability with infrastructure investment. To ensure effective UAV operations within the Greenline air mobility corridor, it is essential to deploy drones that are optimized for urban conditions, such as narrow airspace, variable signal environments, and high-resolution sensing needs.

Reliable communication is the backbone of any urban air mobility (UAM) corridor. In the context of the Greenline UAV deployment, repeater stations must ensure continuous, low-latency, and fault-tolerant links between UAVs and control systems--even in dense, signal-blocked environments. Table 3 demonstrates some commercial-grade systems that provide flexible deployment options (fixed or drone-mounted) and support redundant, secure, and scalable mesh networking. The implementation of the UAV communication corridor in the Greenline district is supported by spatial analysis and scenario modeling that highlight its feasibility and utility. Figure 17 presents a GIS-based overview of the district's built environment, showing building density and transport layout--key inputs for corridor route planning. The selected route aligns with major arterial roads and service zones, maximizing coverage and minimizing conflicts with existing infrastructure.
