DJI & Seagate announce partnership for UAV ecosystem

The strategic partnership aims to advance data solutions for the UAV ecosystem.

“Seagate is honored to partner with DJI to help UAV users tackle their evolving and unique data needs. Seagate is committed to working together with DJI to evolve UAV workflows so users can focus on what matters most – capturing data in flight to bring new and amazing experiences to the world,” said Tim Bucher, Senior Vice President of Seagate Consumer Solutions.

DJI, one of the world’s leading manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and Seagate Technology, a world leader in storage solutions, announced at the Consumer Electronics Show a strategic partnership to work jointly to solve the data demands of UAV users.

As drone cameras gain resolution and drone flight times grow longer, DJI and Seagate are focusing their efforts to securely and efficiently store, manage, download and share the hundreds of gigabytes of data that can be generated from a single drone mission.

“With the rapid growth of game developers and many popular game titles, the social gaming industry is becoming increasingly competitive. Having the best technology is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge,” said Rex Ng, Chief Executive Officer of 6waves.

Advanced UAVs like the new DJI Inspire 2 capture huge resolution 5.2K video.

Filming at this resolution produces awe-inspiring footage, but also creates even more data.

For example shooting in 5.2K during a 25-minute flight can generate about 120GB of data.

Higher resolution cameras drive the need for more efficient solutions for UAV users to offload, playback, share and backup their footage.

With this partnership DJI and Seagate are actively working together to simplify every step of UAV data workflows.

The companies intend to announce their first product collaboration later this year.
