Streaming.hr was picked to enable live streaming of the very first “Battle of the drones” in Dubai
The world’s first drone race, which finished on March 13, 2016, could not pass without Croatians. Spectacular World Drone Prix in Dubai gathered more than 100 teams that passed very rigorous qualification tournaments and raced for a prize fund of a cool one million dollars. Croatians were not among the competitors, instead one of our companies, Streaming.hr was selected to work on the very complex live streaming project of this event which, in many instances, bordered on pure science fiction.

“We were the only Croatian company that was hired to work on this project during the Wrold Drone Prix and we got the chance to work alongside the very best companies in the world. Our vast live streaming experience which we’ve collected in the last 8 years, sophisticated technology and very valuable equipment was pured into this project in order to provide the viewers with a seamless live streaming service“ said Karlo Dževerlija, business development director of Streaming.hr, obviously satisfied both with the work done and the promise of the organisers to continue their cooperation in the future.
„Battle of the dones“ which was organised by prince Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai, took place over a total area of 591 m, on a track which was specially designed for this occasion. 32 pilots that made it to the finals, fought not only for the Grand prize but also for the fastest lap, freestyle and best drone construction award while the crowd also had the opportunity to select their own favourite. Grand Prix was won by a 15-year old Luke Bannister fro the UK (lead photo, courtesy of Tamara and Nikola Stokanovic)
