Drones provide unique solutions for aerial photography, movie recording, landscape mapping to programmable search and rescue aircraft. This provides challenges and opportunities for drone manufacturers. On one hand, a drone’s end-user mandates excellent user-experience (light weight, longer flying time, safe, reliable, etc.). On the other hand, solutions need to be as cost effective as possible to enjoy economies of scale. From this webinar you will how Infineon’s cost effective products for drones seek to address challenges faced by drone manufacturers while ensuring safety and reliability of drones.
