ATLANTA and BARCELONA, Spain, June
28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- KORE, a global leader in Internet
of Things ("IoT") solutions and worldwide Connectivity-as-a-Service
("CaaS"), will showcase the innovative enablement of IoT
connectivity that is making it possible for Australian
drone-powered logistics company Swoop Aero to transport COVID-19
vaccines into isolated areas of the world. KORE representatives
will be attending Mobile World Congress and showcasing the solution
during a private presentation with the King of Spain and his senior dignitaries.
Additionally, a public presentation on the innovation will take
place at Mobile World Congress Barcelona on Tuesday, June 29, at 9
a.m. CET.
Swoop Aero leverages KORE satellite connectivity and eSIM
technology to deliver medical supplies in isolated locales.
Swoop Aero's air logistics solution enables the reliable
transport of medical commodities, including early pathology
samples, diagnosis kits, antiretroviral therapy medication and
vitamins across Malawi, the
Democratic Republic of Congo,
Mozambique as well as Australia, the United Kingdom and the Pacific. This effort
supports the respective Ministries of Health in delivering medical
supplies to hard-to-reach areas.
"We're living in the most technologically advanced society of
all time," said KORE President and CEO Romil Bahl. "I'm grateful every day that the IoT
connectivity and solutions we provide are being used so that people
in the remotest parts of the world are not forgotten or overlooked.
Medical caregivers rely heavily on Swoop Aero's ability to
consistently transport the medicine that doctors and nurses need to
care for citizens living in remote locations. Failure is not an
option."
Drone technology, paired with robust connectivity solutions, is
leveling the playing field for people who live in remote and rural
regions of the world. Using medical drone logistics within the
existing health supply chain enables better access to essential
medical commodities with reduced human interaction. This is a
primary reason why the use of drones within the health supply chain
has exponentially increased in the wake of the pandemic and, as the
world begins to reopen, represents the "new normal."
Critical to the success of this novel endeavor are the satellite
and cellular redundancy and failover systems KORE provides to
ensure fleets of drones are consistently operational.
"The ability to communicate reliably anywhere in the world,
anytime, allows Swoop Aero to deploy a reliable, sustainable and
scalable drone logistics network bridging the last mile and
enabling equitable health access to anyone anywhere," said Swoop
Aero CEO Eric Peck.
