SK Broadband, a Korean telecommunications company and subsidiary of SK Telecom, partnered with JOUAV's distributor FineVT for the project. The demonstration involved transmitting encrypted 4K video captured by a CW-30E drone in Antarctica. This eliminated the need for human presence in filming and exploring the ecosystem around Sejong Station.

SK Broadband emphasized that this achievement marks a significant step forward for the telecommunications industry. Drone technology, combined with quantum-secured communication, has the potential to revolutionize data collection in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments. Applications range from detailed surveys in Antarctica to various industrial inspections.

"Our CW-30E drone demonstrated its ability to capture critical data under challenging conditions," said Ren Bin, Founder, CEO & General Manager of JOUAV. "We are proud to contribute to this industry milestone."

The project was funded by the Korean Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communication (MOSTIC) and the Korea Intelligence and Information Society Agency (NIA). It represents a national effort to develop and commercialize quantum technologies, including security, sensing, and computing solutions.
