Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation Announces Distribution of Qualcomm Flight™ Pro Reference Platform with High-End Performance Capabilities to Advance Consumer Drones and Robotics

Platform Supports Small, Light Drones with Advanced Video and Image Capture, Communication and Navigation Features

Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation (TSX: ITC and OTCQX: ISYRF) (“Intrinsyc” or the “Company”), a leading provider of solutions for the development and production of embedded and Internet of Things (“IoT”) products, announced it will distribute the Qualcomm Flight™ Pro reference platform, a highly optimized board and development kit targeted specifically for consumer drones and robotics applications, featuring the Qualcomm APQ8096SG processor. The Qualcomm Flight Pro is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, and is designed to support robust connectivity, advanced drone software and development tools, to bring cutting-edge mobile technologies to help create a new class of consumer drones.

“Qualcomm Flight Pro is a follow-up to the previous Qualcomm Flight platform introduced in 2016, with even more powerful processing capabilities and flexibility for drone device development,” said Cliff Morton, Vice President, Client Solutions, Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation.  “The Qualcomm Flight Pro is a single compact board; enabling OEMs to build drones that are light, small, easy to use and affordable, with long battery life and superior functionalities.”
