Valqari, developer of the patented drone delivery station and last-inch mailbox solution for drone delivery, has received its latest patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). With a priority date of January 2, 2014, the patent (patent number 11,117,680) covers a broad range of claims in the field of drone delivery and Valqari's delivery infrastructure, from general UAV delivery to protecting users' packages from theft, weather, and other nuisances.
Valqari has created a market-leading drone delivery solution that solves the last inch of logistics with its patented Drone Delivery Station, which provides a safe and convenient delivery container for both drone and traditional package delivery and pickup. With best-in-class hardware and software, the Drone Delivery Station is completely platform agnostic and works seamlessly with any drone manufacturer, further cementing Valqari as the ideal solution for drone delivery.

Medicines and other important packages can now be easily and safely delivered to previously hard-to-reach remote villages and rural areas.
