The “drone-in-a-box” units will improve the availability of operationally efficient drone applications for industrial purposes and to ensure public safety.

Swisscom will offer drones for the emergency services (first responders); infrastructure inspection and improve the protection of site.

These robots, combined with alarm sensors, significantly improve the security of sensitive facilities and premises. Automated, drone-based surveillance allows the reduction of costs within the framework of a defined security plan.

Nokia and Swisscom have the expertise to efficiently implement this project in Switzerland. Nokia has significant expertise in the development and production of high-quality hardware and software and experience in setting up a drone network in Belgium.

In the future, Swisscom Broadcast will enable customers to access drone infrastructure developed and produced in Europe and obtain drone services from a single source, including advice, automated piloting and monitoring of drone flights and secure data storage in Swisscom data centres.

Swisscom Broadcast CEO Dominik Muller said: “With Nokia’s Drone Networks, we are adopting an end-to-end solution for networked drones with industrial and public security applications.”

“The Nokia Drone Networks solution uses our Industrial Edge Technology (MXIE) with highly developed computing and software functions, thus facilitating large-scale projects,” Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services at Nokia, said.
