The development, described by the companies as a technological breakthrough, is designed to allow professional drone operators, critical national infrastructure providers and emergency services to deliver medical, commercial and industrial supplies, safe in the knowledge that they will arrive at the correct destination on time while remaining connected to the mobile network.In a proof-of-concept trial conducted at Vodafone’s 5G Mobility Lab in Aldenhoven, Germany, the companies used intelligence from the network to produce coverage maps, which enabled the drone to stay in areas with a good signal up in the air. They also collated anonymised mobile user information so the drone could avoid crowded areas down on the ground and did this using information obtained via Vodafone’s Network Exposure Layer.Looking at real-life use cases that could be derived from this scenario, Vodafone could potentially offer a hospital access, via an API, to non-sensitive network information to send a drone to the scene of an accident. In a separate test simulation in Spain recently, Vodafone flew a lightweight defibrillator to the scene of a cardiac arrest patient using a drone controlled by 5G.As part of the trial, Vodafone and Ericsson also explored ways to use the network to control key features of the drone, such as being able to improve the definition of the video instantly without impacting other services. This is particularly useful in situations where the video is not required for the entire mission, such as being able to inspect a suspension bridge or check on the condition of a mountaineer.“Smarter network capabilities on our reliable mobile network will enable key industries such as healthcare, construction and agriculture to accelerate site deployment, reduce health and safety hazards, and help save lives. With this technology, service providers can expand their cellular IoT [internet of things] services for enterprises and confidently meet regulatory guidelines.” -- ???????? | |||
