The HubX has been designed for remote drone deployment in the mining and construction industries
Sphere Drones has delivered its HubX drone deployment unit to Aptella, enabling automated drone technology for customers in Australia’s resources, mining, construction and emergency services sectors.
HubX is an off-grid solution designed for remote operations. Mounted on a 4WD-capable trailer, HubX is engineered for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, enabling drone deployments in rugged and remote areas.
HubX is designed to replace manual processes and improve productivity. For industries like mining, it reduces risks by keeping personnel out of harm’s way and eliminates inefficiencies such as unnecessary travel across large sites.

Following this delivery, Sphere Drones and Aptella will conduct public demonstration days along the east coast of Australia and into South Australia.
