Lanai to See Test of Solar-Powered Drone for 5G Service

A solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle developed by SoftBank and built by U.S. drone manufacturer AeroVironment will test 5G delivery over the island of Lanai, Hawaii. The Hawk 30 High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellite drone is in the same family of aircraft developed by NASA. 

The University of Hawaii Research Organization has a support agreement with program sponsor HAPSMobile Inc. to perform the test project on Lanai. SoftBank Corp., Loon LLC and AeroVironment also are involved in the project.
