In September 2018, the sky above Hangzhou came alive with a landmark aerial showcase at the Yunqi Conference 2018. Our custom-built Sky IoT LoRa Station airship lifted off smoothly above the venue, becoming the iconic centerpiece of Alibaba Cloud’s grand IoT strategy launch.
The Tech That Powered the Sky Deployment
Engineered for reliable long‑range communication and stable outdoor flight, our professional airship integrated secure LoRa connectivity and synchronized data transmission. Working seamlessly with a 20‑meter underground base station, it formed Alibaba Cloud’s revolutionary Sky IoT network — demonstrating real‑time, air‑to‑ground interconnection for the entire industry.
Live Demo & Industry Impact
During the conference, the airship supported a live Cainiao unmanned delivery mission: the moment the parcel was opened, the big data wall updated instantly. This aerial activation:
- Supported the launch of Alibaba Cloud’s Darwin Plan
- Showcased end‑to‑end IoT infrastructure for enterprises
- Generated millions of media and social impressions across tech platforms
- Established a new benchmark for sky‑based tech events
