Tele2 AB (Tele2) and the q-trade platform foodora announced that they will launch food deliveries using IoT and 5G connected drones. The deliveries will be made wherever possible to the customers' property or garden and lowered with a cable from the drone, with the first deliveries taking place already in the spring on Varmdo, outside Stockholm. Now launching foodora Air, which is a fleet of electric drones that, with the help of 5G technology from Tele2, will provide fast and efficient delivery service of food from a number of restaurants on Varm do, outside Stockholm.

Aerit, a technology leader in the drone industry, has developed advanced drones integrated into foodora's technology platform to create a seamless and efficient delivery experience connected with the latest 5G technology from Tele2. The drones have a range of 21 kilometers and emit 2 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, which can be compared to traditional gasoline or diesel-powered delivery vehicles that emit 143 and 110 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometers, respectively. Deliveries will, where possible, be made directly to customers' properties or gardens and lowered with a cable from The air.

Deliveries will commence in May on Varmdo, and food can be ordered through the foodora app. The goal is to expand to more areas in Sweden so that more locations can have access to the same service available in major cities. Tele2 will provide continuous connectivity for the drones based on 5G IoT (Internet of Things) technology.

D drones require both short response times and the ability to send and receive large amounts of data to handle deliveries safely, supported by 5G. Technical information foodora Air: Maximum range: 21 kilometers; Maximum delivery range: 12 kilometers; Maximum delivery weight: 4 kilograms; Weather capacity: Can fly in rain, wind, and snow.
