(MENAFN- Robotics & automation News) Matternet , the developer of an urban drone delivery platform, has received approval from the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), Germany's federal Aviation Office, to operate the Matternet M2 drone delivery platform beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) in the heart of Berlin.
This marks the beginning of Berlin's first ever BVLOS drone delivery network.
Labor Berlin, Europe's largest hospital laboratory, provides diagnostics for 30 hospitals with more than 24,000 beds, including Charité, the largest university hospital in Europe and Vivantes, the largest municipal hospital group in Berlin.
Labor Berlin handles more than 6 million lab samples per year from satellite laboratories across Berlin in its central lab. The drone delivery network aims to connect Labor Berlin's central lab to affiliated hospitals for ultra-fast delivery of critical samples in the densely populated city.
When fully operational, the network will serve millions of patients a year. Operations will formally begin early next year following clearance on federal state level.
