Latin America. Prestige events leave no room for uncertainty. For producers and technical directors around the world, the challenge is no longer just to dazzle audiences, but to execute large-scale performances with absolute reliability.
This requirement has propelled French manufacturer Drotek as the strategic hardware and software partner for the world's biggest shows.
Technological sovereignty at the service of the spectacle
From national ceremonies in Latin America to mega-festivals in the United States and Europe, to record-breaking events in Asia, the entertainment industry is now demanding strong industrial guarantees. Beyond physical performance, data security has become a critical aspect for contractors and governments.
It is in this field that Drotek has forged its difference. Designed and assembled entirely in France, Drotek systems are based on a fully sovereign architecture.
This mastery of the value chain ensures maximum cybersecurity, excluding any risk of data leakage. Choosing Drotek is to be certain of operating massive fleets, from a few hundred to thousands of drones, in a hermetic, highly secure and cutting-edge software and hardware environment.
IO STAR 3: Visual Power and Exceptional Battery Life
At the heart of the most ambitious productions is the IO STAR 3. This drone has been conceived as the ultimate tool for lighting creators, combining stunning visual impact with top-notch operational specifications:
Longest runtime on the market: Designed to maximize flight time, the IO STAR 3 offers unmatched endurance, allowing art directors to create denser narratives, more complex transitions, and longer shows.
Pure visual performance: Equipped with an ultra-powerful RGBW LED, it ensures absolute color sharpness and perfect visibility from miles away, transforming the night sky into a high-definition screen.
Performance maintenance: Thanks to the centimeter RTK GPS and an oversized engine, Drotek's fleet resists gusts of wind and maintains the perfect integrity of the 3D figure in real weather conditions.
The IoT ecosystem: Towards full modularity
AV (A/V) professionals like Crystal, one of the world's leaders in outdoor events, know that the success of a show is decided first on the ground. Drotek goes beyond being a simple manufacturer to offer a complete and scalable work ecosystem.
The deployment is optimised by IO Pads: ultra-light take-off stations in pallet format that mathematically structure the flight zones. But Drotek is picking up the pace of innovation this year with the arrival of new interchangeable modules for the IO range:
The Pyro Module: To merge the precision of the drone with the impact of traditional pyrotechnics, offering a new dimension of hybrid creation.
The Cargo Module: An integrated technology that opens the way to direct and automated feeding of the fleet on land.
This modularity, combined with future IO Power Pads for autonomous recharging without battery handling, completely redefines the operational profitability and logistics of large-scale shows.
Choosing the Leaders
Equipping yourself with Drotek technology means integrating a recognized industry standard. It means ensuring continuous support at all levels: on-site support, regular training on new products, assistance in the design of the shows, regulatory support, fleet flexibility through rental and ultra-fast after-sales service.
And, above all, it is the guarantee of offering its end customers the security of a spectacular event, protected by strict software sovereignty and powered by the most resistant hardware on the market.
