In turn, has a carbon fiber frame and unique design, this unmanned aerial vehicle can not reach remote areas to provide connection.

The company also introduced a laser that can deliver data 10 times faster than currently possible and only aiming at a target the size of a penny provides Internet 10 kilometers away.
