AUVSI to Host Workshop on Drones and the Wireless Industry at CTIA Super Mobility Conference, Sept. 8

Review of new FAA regulations for operating commercial drones

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Brian Wynne, president and CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), will lead a workshop on unmanned aircraft systems at CTIA Super Mobility 2016 in Las Vegas on Sept. 8 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. PDT. The workshop, "Drones and the Wireless Industry: Information, Insights and Actionable Tools to Utilize UAS in Your Business," will take place in Exhibit Hall's Enterprise and Industrial IoT Zone, Booth 6037.

The wireless industry has adopted UAS technology for a number of applications, including tower inspections and optimizing networks for special events. With the recent implementation by the Federal Aviation Administration of Part 107, the small UAS rule, more commercial operators than ever are expected to explore the benefits of UAS. Wynne's workshop will review how these new regulations will impact the wireless industry, as well as the vast potential that UAS have for wireless companies.

Workshop participants include Marke "Hoot" Gibson, senior advisor for UAS Integration at the FAA; Sean Cushing, president, COO and co-founder of HAZON Solutions; Thomas Haun, vice president of Strategy and Globalization for PrecisionHawk; Christopher Moccia, executive vice president of Infrastructure for Measure; Anil Nanduri, vice President of the New Technology Group at Intel; and Art Pregler, director of National Mobility Systems for AT&T.

Wynne will also participate in a panel discussion on UAS and 4G wireless networks, which will take place following the workshop from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. PDT in room Veronese 2401.

An economic impact study by AUVSI found the UAS industry is projected to create more than 100,000 jobs and provide more than $82 billion in economic impact in the first decade following UAS integration into the national airspace.

About AUVSI
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) - the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of unmanned systems and robotics - represents more than 7,500 members from more than 60 countries involved in the fields of government, industry and academia. AUVSI members work in the defense, civil and commercial markets.

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
