The solution integrates Nokia Drone Networks with Motorola Solutions' CAPE drone software to help transform public safety and industrial operations, improving operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Deploying drones before first responders allows for an early assessment of a situation's severity, contributing to the efficient allocation of resources. The new solution enables public safety and mission-critical industries to remotely deploy drones from one or more operations centers simultaneously to assess emergencies and hazards, while receiving AI-powered intelligence that can inform and accelerate decisions to help keep workers, property, and facilities safer.
CAPE software's safe flight features adjust the drone's trajectory to avoid obstacles, stay within a geofenced area, and adapt to changes in terrain altitude, with AI assisting operators to analyze data in real time. Nokia's drone-in-a-box technology connects via 4G/LTE or 5G networks for extended range and seamless remote operation beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs have demonstrated increased safety for first responders by providing tactical intelligence, enabling better coordination, oversight, and transparency in operations. For critical infrastructure sectors, such as oil and gas, ports, utilities, mining, energy, and manufacturing, BVLOS technology and remote operation capabilities help improve the safety of industrial workers and reduce operating costs in hard-to-reach locations, such as offshore wind farms. Multi-drone-in-a-box systems can serve as a sustainable alternative to helicopters, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
