Nokia Drone Networks integrates Amprius SiCore® batteries to advance high-reliability operations.

Amprius’ balanced cells deliver burst power required for takeoff and sustained energy needed for extended flight, ensuring obstacle avoidance, return-to-home, and other safety-critical subsystems remain powered for the entire mission. Their lightweight design and high energy density also support advanced payloads, including LiDAR sensors, thermal imaging systems, and 5G communication modules, without compromising endurance or system reliability.

“Amprius’ batteries offer performance gains that meaningfully enhance our drone capability,” said Thomas Eder, Head of Embedded Wireless Solutions, Nokia. “With SiCore, we can extend mission range, increase payload versatility, and improve system efficiency while maintaining the safety and reliability our customers expect. These advancements strengthen our leadership in public safety and industrial monitoring, and open new opportunities for mission-critical aerial operations.”

With its latest release, Nokia Drone Networks continues to evolve as a smarter, more capable solution designed for rapid deployment and large-scale use. By combining 5G connectivity with an open architecture, the solution supports secure, long-range beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) missions. The platform’s Extra Long Range (XLR) capability, paired with Amprius’ energy-dense cells, expands the operational reach of automated drone fleets.

“Nokia’s selection further demonstrates Amprius’ leadership in aviation battery technology and reflects the growing demand for our SiCore platform in high-impact deployments,” said Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “As UAVs take on more complex and autonomous missions, energy density and temperature control become decisive advantages. Our technology enables drones to operate longer, carry more, and perform in conditions once considered impractical, helping customers improve safety, minimize downtime, and increase mission value.”

With partnerships spanning UAVs, eVTOL, and advanced mobility platforms, Amprius continues to set the standard for high-performance, energy-dense batteries. By delivering both endurance and resilience in real-world applications, the Company is advancing the future of flight and shaping the next era of electrified mobility.
