Case Study: SmartDrone achieves a secure, scalable drone infrastructure platform with Ubuntu Core from Ubuntu

SmartDrone fast-tracks drone infrastructure revolution with Ubuntu Core

SmartDrone wanted to take its surveying and mapping drone solution to the next level by building a new flight platform that would let any business deploy drone applications. To do that, the company needed to unify fragmented components and open-source software into a secure, cohesive drone infrastructure platform, and Ubuntu Core was the fit for its requirements.

Ubuntu helped SmartDrone use Ubuntu Core and snaps, with Canonical’s SMART START program, to speed development and deployment. The result was a secure drone infrastructure ecosystem and a drones-as-a-service strategy delivered at about one-tenth the cost of other approaches, accelerating SmartDrone’s path to market.
