Nokia Partners with Swisscom Broadcast to Deploy 5G Drone Network in Switzerland
TapTechNews August 10th news, according to Nokia's official press release, Nokia announced a cooperation with Swisscom Broadcast to deploy the world's largest 5G communication network for drones in Switzerland.
TapTechNews learned that the communication network will cover the whole of Switzerland and consist of 300 Nokia 5G drones, mainly used for mission communication in remote areas, emergency communication response in disaster areas and other scenarios. End users only need to request drone communication from Swisscom Broadcast (similar to a ride-sharing service), and after a short wait, the drone will arrive, and then the relevant users can send and receive real-time information through the drone.
Nokia said that this is the second national drone network project established by the company after the Citymesh plan in Belgium. The relevant plan will help Switzerland's public safety and Industry 4.0, and highlight Nokia's advantages in the modernization of digital infrastructure projects and mission-critical industrial edge computing (MXIE).
In terms of drones, Nokia currently mainly uses Nokia Drone 5G drones to build communication services. The drone adopts a six-axis design and is equipped with a 30x optical zoom camera, and optional thermal imaging, lidar and other modules, with a battery life of 50 minutes and a maximum flight range of 30 kilometers.
