Drone is a flying robot. Drone and IOT are used in many business enterprises. Drone is an unmanned aircraft in terms of technology. It is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. It can fly in an autonomous way or can be controlled by remote. It flies with the help of board embedded with sensors and GPS.

In the past few years, we have seen so many applications of Drone. It has been used in the military for gathering information and also used as a weapon. It has also been used in civil areas as used in rescue missions, traffic monitoring, photography, agriculture and even in the delivery of products.

One of the best application of a drone can be to provide internet to the people. To provide internet, we need different types of sensors and integrated chips in the drone. To initiate this project with many sensors and chips is a big task. Many companies started to work on the idea but failed to do so.

This task is made easier by a Switzerland based startup, Bytes ( www.bytes.io ). Bytes is a result of three years of hard work. Its research started in Imperial College of London. Today, Bytes is the first French company which got incorporated using Bitcoins. Bytes has always been innovating in various fields. People enjoy the internet at home but a pay a lot of amount outside their region. Bytes imagine future possibilities where machine and users interact in an automated way. The one who has extra can lend it to those who need.

Bytes applications have two different sections — Seller and Buyer. Selling and buying works on a defined radius. The design of application hides all the complexity of Blockchain.

Below given are the screenshots of the Bytes Application:

Fig. 2. Version 1.0.0 of Bytes application.

Different sections help us to clearly know how buyer and seller are working and what is the min and max price/ Gbytes. There is also a map embedded in the application which provides a clear view of other users.

“Drone as an Internet provider using Bytes”

A drone can be used to provide internet using the application of Bytes. We can use the hotspot module and wifi module in Drone. An application can be made together with the controlling of Drone and Bytes. Drone’s part in the application will be to make it fly over a constant region. Bytes application integrated with Drone’s application will help us to know the contracts and selling of internet.

Every smart contract that is made using Bytes will provide notification in the application. There will be an option to set rates for selling data and it will show the current network load. Hotspot area can be defined in the application.

A Draft ot Drone + Bytes application is shown below:

Fig. 3. Draft of Drone and Bytes Application together.

In the above picture, we have Google maps, Hotspot area, Bytes (on-off) Button, Display of Network Load, Data Usage, minimum Rate.

Google Maps:

It will help in identifying the area in which we have bytes users and area in which drone is flying and covering capacity of Hotspot Module.

Hotspot area:

It is the range that will be set by the flyer to cover a region for internet access.

Bytes (on-off) Button:

It will be used when we need to provide the internet. When we enter in a region and we think we can have enough users looking for internet, we can switch on Bytes and by the help of smart contracts, we can provide internet to many users in a single runtime.

Display of Network load:

It will help in identifying the network load of the system.
