Verizon Robotics

Real-time drone streaming that lets on-site teams and remote stakeholders decide together.

Business Value

  • Broader market fit: One solution adopted across film, ag, infrastructure, and construction—expanding TAM.

  • Travel cost savings: Remote participation reduces scout trips and repeat site visits for enterprise customers.

  • Network differentiation: Showcases Verizon LTE/5G reliability in high-stakes, high-bandwidth scenarios.

  • Attach & upsell: Creates paths to storage, analytics, and premium collaboration features.

  • Lower support load: Simple go-live flow and self-serve troubleshooting shrink setup-related tickets.

User Value

  • Decide in real time: Directors, producers, and PMs can watch live, request angles, and approve on the spot.

  • Zero-install viewing: Share a secure link; stakeholders join from any device—no apps, no setup.

  • Context that matters: Optional map/location overlays, timestamps, and notes make footage actionable later.

  • Automatic record & recall: Streams are saved with bookmarks so teams can review, clip, and share highlights.

  • Built for the field: Designed around weak signal, overheating, and battery constraints with clear recovery paths.

I designed Verizon Robotics’ live video workflow for drones so on-site pilots can stream to anyone, anywhere, with low-latency viewing, secure link sharing, and recording by default.

What started as a focused “release-and-learn” launch for location scouts quickly proved valuable across industries:

  • film (Disney scouts with LA producers)

  • agriculture (crop health)

  • civil engineering (bridge inspections)

  • construction (site progress)

The experience emphasizes one-tap go-live, clear roles and permissions, frictionless viewer access, and resilient streaming over LTE/5G—even when conditions are tough.
