ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), is expanding its United Arab Emirates (UAE) presence by establishing a new office to sell Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings based in Dubai. Initially this office will focus on delivering drone-powered cleaning services for building exteriors using the IQ Square drone tethered to a water pipe and electrical cord. The company is currently obtaining a permit from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority to begin power wash testing and operations.

Supporting this expansion, ZenaTech will hire two business development managers and up to four additional drone pilots, with drones supplied from its subsidiary ZenaDrone which has a manufacturing hub in nearby Sharjah.

The ZenaDrone IQ Square is an advanced AI-powered autonomous drone with a footprint of 40X40 and 50X50 inches in size, in a rotary VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) design. It is designed to perform visual-line-of-sight land surveys, various types of inspections and surveillance applications, power washing applications using a tethered water and power supply, and reconnaissance missions required for defense applications. Equipped to use interchangeable state-of-the-art cameras, sensors, and attachments, the IQ Square can carry a payload of up to seven kilograms and offers a flight time of approximately 20 minutes when using its battery that can be autonomously recharged through landing on a charging pad.

ZenaTech’s DaaS business incorporating the ZenaDrone 1000 and the IQ series of multifunction drones, provides a variety of cost-effective and accessible solutions through an Uber-like business model paid for on a regular subscription or pay-per-use basis. The business model offers customers such as government agencies, farmers, real estate developers, or business owners reduced upfront costs and convenience ─ there is no need to purchase drone hardware and software, find a drone pilot, manage maintenance and operation, or acquire regulatory approvals. The model also offers scalability to use more often or less often based on business needs.
