en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 21, the "low-altitude aerial network" developed by Meituan drones officially entered regular commercial operation. At the same time, the company launched a nationwide recruitment program for authorized service providers in low-altitude logistics operations, opening up its low-altitude delivery capabilities to the industry through newly released self-developed hardware and software products.

"The essence of the low-altitude aerial network is not about making food delivery look cooler, but about freeing urban commerce from the physical constraints of concrete and steel," said Mao Yinian, Vice President of Meituan and head of its drone business.

To support this high-density low-altitude aerial network, Meituan's drone division showcased its latest low-altitude logistics solution to reporters, including the self-developed fourth-generation Meituan drone long-range winch version M-Drone 4L Winch, the Meituan intelligent docking station M-Port 3, and the Meituan drone cloud hub M-DaaS 3, among others.

According to the introduction, at the hardware level, Meituan's new drone model boasts strong environmental adaptability, covering over 97% of urban scenarios in China. The newly designed M-Port 3.0 intelligent docking station occupies an area similar to a traditional telephone booth and features plug-and-play, minimalist deployment capabilities.

Meanwhile, in terms of safety and dispatch, Meituan's drones hold a Civil Unmanned Aircraft Operation Certificate covering the entire territory of China, and its self-developed M-DaaS 3 system serves as the "super brain" of the aerial network. The system can make judgments on abnormal situations within 100 milliseconds and supports complex dispatching involving beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations, multiple aircraft models, and high density.

Since its exploration began in 2017, Meituan's drone operations have transformed from "single-point testing" to "hub-and-spoke single-line operations," and now to the current network-based transformation of "connecting lines into a surface." The new low-altitude logistics delivery model is serving as a stable and reliable "second transportation network," helping the company take a crucial step toward large-scale commercial implementation. Mao Yinian stated that they will continue to deeply cultivate real-world needs and join hands with ecosystem partners to make the low-altitude aerial network a part of the city's "new infrastructure."
