Nigeria’s leading drone manufacturers, Beyond Vision, has unveiled a new project named ‘Rural Environmental Monitoring via ultra wide- ARea networKs And distriButed federated Learning (REMARKABLE) project.
The new project, according to the company,seeks to tackle the prevalent technological divide between urban and rural communities in Nigeria.
Renowned for its expertise in cutting-edge AI algorithms and a revolutionary Cloud UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) management platform, the new project from Beyond Vision marks a pivotal step toward fostering equitable technological access across diverse environments.
“The REMARKABLE project, a collaborative effort involving European academic partners, corporate entities, and African academic groups, emerges as a pioneering response to the inadvertent oversight of rural areas in the advancements of IoT and data analytics” the company said in a statement
Leveraging transformative technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML), the new project will render sophisticated services not only more accessible but also imbued with enhanced energy efficiency and fortified security measures.
It also noted that the REMARKABLE project aims to bridge technological disparities through strategic partnerships with esteemed academic institutions, whilst Collaborating with Summit University, Offa (SUN, Offa), and the Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA) in order to achieve an all encompassing progress.
Among Beyond Vision’s cutting-edge products, the HEIFU-PRO-TACTICAL DRONE, a Class 3 hexacopter, stands out as a powerful tool equipped with a high-capacity battery and a state-of-the-art flight controller.
The drone can be operated through various methods, including a wireless local radio control, and a remote-control application (ZigBee, 4G, 5G) under the HEIFU®️ Pro
Inside Beyond vision’s UAV collection is the VTOne AI-Powered VTOL Class 3 Quadcopter Fixed Wing Drone to offer another exceptional solution.
The Class 3 Quadcopter Fixed Wing drone operates with a high-capacity battery and a cutting-edge flight controller, controlled through various means such as wireless local radio control, and a remote-control application (ZigBee, 4G, 5G) under the VTOne.
In a strategic initiative showcasing its dedication to technological advancements, the Beyond Vision recently concluded training for students at both Summit University Offa and Federal University of Technology in Minna.
The initiative aims to empower students and professionals with specialized knowledge in UAV technology, AI integration, and IoT applications.
“The recent workshops conducted at Summit University, Offa, under the theme “Unlocking the Future: Advanced UAV Technologies,” and at the Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA), titled “Unlocking the Future with the Convergence of AI and Drones Technology,” underscored the shared commitment of these esteemed institutions to pioneering technology. These workshops not only showcased a dedication to cutting-edge advancements but also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to embracing and propelling transformative technology to new heights” . The company said.
It added that the company alongside the institutions are gearing for another certification project which will offer comprehensive training modules designed by experts from Beyond Vision alongside faculty members from both academic institutions
