In December 2020, Latvia welcomed its first-ever gift delivery completed by a drone. A parcel consisting of tablets was ‘shipped’ in a joint effort by Latvian Mobile Telephone (LMT), SPH Engineering and DPD Latvija. The drone’s beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight was conducted entirely on the mobile network, and the drone used a remote ID device prototype made by LMT, as well as UgCS drone mission and route planning software by SPH Engineering.
