​Overview

In Greek Mythology, Aether is the personification of the bright upper sky. A region that both fascinated and terrified the people at the same time; it represents a space caught between terrestrial and celestial — between the earth's surface and the boundaries of its atmosphere. Phil Lancaster views it as the perfect representation of his new company.

To Lancaster, Aether Global Innovations isn't just a medium between heaven and earth. It also signifies the transformative power of artificial intelligence and incredible advancements that automated drone services could introduce to domestic services and security — a paradigm shift with the potential to enhance situational awareness, resource allocation, incident response and much more.

Aether, in other words, represents the limitless potential of a place that's been out of reach for much of human history and is a perfect analogy for Lancaster's end goal.
