A tethered drone system has a drone that carries telecommunication equipment, such as one or more cellular transceivers and an antenna, that enables the system to provide access to a telecommunication network for a plurality of remote communication devices in a vicinity of the drone. The drone may be disassembled to facilitate transport to a location at which additional cellular service is desired, such as a remote location or an area impacted by a catastrophic weather or geological event. At or near such location, the drone may be quickly assembled and launched. While airborne, the drone may hover for an extended period of time, such as several, hours, days, weeks, or even longer, while the telecommunication equipment carried by the drone provides access to the telecommunication network.
