ZenaTech Announces Second Land Survey Acquisition With a Signed LOI, Bringing Drone-as-a-Service Innovation to a US $10.3 Billion Industry - ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA)
TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. ZENA (FSE: 49Q) ("ZenaTech"), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone solutions and enterprise SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions, announces today that it has signed a second land survey acquisition LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire an additional land survey company. This is part of a larger acquisition strategy to disrupt the land survey business and other industries, by accelerating the innovation, speed and precision benefits achieved by using AI drones. The signed agreement is with an established land survey engineering firm located in the Southern area of the US, adding another potential acquisition to the one previously announced in the Southeast US region, adding to the roll out of ZenaTech's Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) business in the US. "This signed LOI to acquire a second US land survey company will further expedite our DaaS strategy to bring AI drone hardware, software, and expertise to innovate and improve the operations of many traditional business verticals. We are currently working through negotiations on a pipeline of over 20 acquisitions. It is exciting to have the opportunity to be the first drone company to launch a DaaS business model at scale, adding the potential for significant revenue in the US and globally," said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D. Drone-as-a-Service, like Software-as-a-Service, is a subscription-based or pay-as-you-go service model where business users can benefit from the efficiencies of using a drone solution in their business for a variety of applications from surveillance, and inspection, to compliance and safety and specific industry applications, on a regular or periodic basis instead of having to buy or physically own the hardware, software and acquire the expertise needed to implement. Companies in a variety of verticals like the land survey industry, where drones are just starting to be regularly used, can benefit from the innovation, speed, and precision of drones while saving on having to make a costly investment and qualifying for the US FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and other regulatory and pilot certifications that are required. The US Surveying and Mapping Services industry is estimated at $10.3 billion according to Business Research Insights, growing at least 3% annually. Remotely piloted and autonomous drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are positioned to revolutionize the industry. Aerial data across expansive terrains can be gathered and analyzed in a matter of hours instead of the typical weeks or months required using traditional methods. Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, design, and execution of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. ZenaTech is focused on smaller land survey engineering firms with a valuable network of clients and licensed surveyors and a Surveyor-in-Charge, designations that take years to achieve. ZenaTech's DaaS business model will target multiple US sectors and customers such as governments, farmers, oil and gas companies, warehouse and logistics customers, and environmental firms, enabling them to utilize a complete drone application using the ZenaDrone 1000 multifunction autonomous drone or the IQ Nano compact indoor/outdoor autonomous drone.

How the Latest Drone Technology is Reshaping the Construction & Land Surveying Industry By Investing.com
PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Drone technology usage has been and is being utilized in various industries worldwide. In fact, drones are the most popular land surveying equipment that can improve the efficiency and flexibility of field surveys, particularly topographic surveys, through aerial photography and mapping by capturing data via video and GNSS. The rising urbanization and industrialization in developing countries is a key factor fueling the growth of the land survey equipment market. The governments in developing countries such as India, Peru, and China are planning different smart city projects, which would need surveying and inspection activities before the actual construction process. Further, major cities in the US, India, and China are rapidly expanding, and several new infrastructures are being constructed in different parts of these countries. Several plans for the development of smart cities are rolled out, and land survey equipment plays a critical role in surveying development sites in the planning stage. A report from The Insight Partners said that the Land Survey Equipment market is expected to Reach US$ 12.56 Billion by 2028 reach US$ 12,568.4 million by 2031 from US$ 8,068.0 million in 2022, at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. The governments in developing countries are planning smart city projects that need to be surveyed and inspected thoroughly before beginning the construction process. Therefore, increasing initiatives for smart city development are driving the need for land survey equipment. Active Companies in the markets today include: ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO), Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS), EHang Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: EH). The report said: Technological Innovations: The increasing demand for land survey equipment in construction, renewable energy, mining, oil & gas, forestry, precision farming, disaster management, and transportation industries, as well as in scientific and geological research and utilities, drives the market. Digitalization: Digitalization in land surveying helps in precise measurements with high efficiency and data integration at lower land survey costs. Distances and angles can be measured precisely and quickly, and the data can be combined using software to construct a number of land surveys.
