Book Your Hextronics Global Battery-Swapping Drone-Nest at Just USD 999

California, USA, May 17, 2021: On Friday, May 14, FlytBase, in partnership with
Hextronics, hosted FlytLaunch to unveil the Hextronics Global drone nest, garnering the interest of over 350 tech enthusiasts, including, drone solution providers, drone
hardware and software product companies, and businesses looking to automate their
drone-based business operations.

What’s in the Box?

The Global comes with a rugged, weatherproof, IP 66 (pending) enclosure made out of anodised aluminium. It is ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications and can operate in a temperature range of 5ºC to 35ºC (40ºF to 95ºF), with the ability to further extend this range to -30ºC to +65ºC (-20ºF to 150ºF) for areas with extreme weather conditions.

The base unit weighs only 70 lbs (approx. 32 kg), which makes it quite portable and
travel-friendly, while still offering enough resistance to theft.

The Global can house any of the DJI Mavic 2 series of drones. It elegantly addresses the challenge of long charging time of these commercial, off-the-shelf drones with its advanced robotic battery-swapping capability, boasting a groundbreaking downtime of just about 90 seconds. The base unit can hold up to 5 additional batteries and it keeps them fully charged while the drone is away on routine missions.

To provide fully autonomous operations, the Hextronics Global comes preinstalled with the reliable FlytNow Auto software, which provides cloud connectivity and the ability to remotely command and control the drone & docking station through its interactive command centre, FlytNow Hub. Additionally, the software includes a powerful precision-landing module that enables the drone to autonomously land on the docking station with centimetre-level accuracy, every time.

Additional Offerings

The Hextronics Global offers 4 optional add-ons to further enhance its capabilities:
extreme temperature control, integrated cellular service, mounted weather station, and a flight range extender. One of the most popular features, the weather station, allows users to measure several critical parameters, such as wind speed, air pressure,
temperature, humidity, and rainfall. These parameters are not only visible on the FlytNow dashboard, but can also be used to set various pre-flight checks that are critical for ensuring the safety of fully automated deployments. For example, the drone will not be allowed to take off if the wind speed and/or rainfall is above the user-defined thresholds.

Pricing

One of the most attractive features of Hextronics Global is its extremely affordable price. Capable of being deployed for a wide range of use-cases and businesses to
perform repetitive (and sometimes dangerous) tasks, the Global is priced at just USD
11,999. As an introductory offer, the Global is currently available for USD 9,999 for a limited time. The orders can be booked with a down-payment of just USD 999 for
deliveries starting from early July from here: http://bit.ly/hextronics_global. To further sweeten the deal, buyers who avail of the introductory offer gain automatic entry into the FlyNow Preferred Partner program, with exclusive perks!
