The drone revolution is well and truly underway in many nations, but has that revolution reached Mexico?
 
For Jesus Zenteno, Microdrones Sales Manager for Latin America, we still need to wait and see, but there are signs that drone use in Mexico will be very common for companies in the near future.
 
“The revolution is still a bit flimsy. However, we’ve also started to see businesses, in the private sector as well as the public sector, have started to make their first efforts,” Zenteno said. “They’re beginning to develop a few internal departments where they’re starting to make investment in equipment, in specific areas for drones.
 
With companies like Microdrones, that make the price of technology more accessible, Ruben Ramos, UAS manager for Precision GPS, says that now not only can companies get information but they also can get better information they can use to cut spending.
 
“Although I know we don’t all have $100,000 in our pockets, it’s not even a tenth of what this technology cost before,” Ramos said. “Before, you paid thousands and thousands of dollars and you just go the information. Now, for that same amount, we can have technology that generates much more precise information than before.”
 
While other markets around the world may be more advanced than Mexico when it comes to UAVs, there is no doubt it’s an area of growth in the country.
