How to benefit from LTE/5G connected Nokia Drone Networks?

Nokia Drone Networks drones can efficiently cover large areas to provide real-time monitoring of factory premises, industrial campuses, or border areas, thereby increasing safety and security. You can also use Drone as First Responder (DFR) immediately after receiving an emergency call, dispatching them to the scene to enhance situational awareness and share real-time information with ground teams, enabling better decision-making before they reach the location.

FAQ

I'm looking for an automated drone-in-a-box solution that I can deploy on my campus/site and operate remotely.

Many drones that are in use today, have severe technical limitations, as they rely on Wi-Fi technology that has:

Limited flight range
Unreliable connections in unlicensed spectrum that can get congested in densely populated areas.

For these reasons, typically drone use by industrial users is within Visual line of sight (VLOS) to the pilot. This implies that a drone can be operated only when the pilot has reached the location. Every team requires members that are trained as a drone pilot, and often these pilots do not have many hours of practical experience with the drone use.

Answer:

Nokia drone, as a 5G connected drone, solves the key problem in this use case, which is how to get aerial insight remotely without personnel onsite. This is extremely usuful in remote or hazardous areas which are hard to reach.

Unlike WiFi, 5G network is built for mobile users, so flight range is not limited by communication link and potentially extends as far as network coverage. 5G operates in licensed spectrum with high reliability, and 3GPP standard guarantees superior security compared to alternatives. Given all these reasons Nokia drone, connected to 5G, can fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS).

Do you have a drone solution that I can lease or rent, rather than owning it outright?

I need a drone solution for a limited period, making it too expensive for my organization to invest in our own solution.

Answer:

Nokia Drone Networks is also available leased as-a-service or hired for a one-off flight bundled with compelling services, lowering the cost of ownership and allowing more enterprises to take advantage of industrial drones.

I'm seeking a drone solution that I can integrate with my existing IT-infrastructure, such as site surveillance systems.

The need to manually interact with multiple systems is not-effective, costing my organization precious time and resources.

Answer:

Open API: Nokia Drone Networks solution can be integrated with your existing safety critical systems and state-of-art analytics tools using the APIs provided.

I want to automate data collection.

Currently tasks such as site surveys still require a lot of manual intervention, including having a dedicated person on-site managing the drone for within the visual line of site flights, and to access data from the SD (memory) cards.

Answer:

When flying BVLOS using 4G/LTE or 5G connectivity, all data is streamed in real time over the network and collected at the edge cloud platform. This ensures full data governance meeting your security needs and insuring easy access for data processing.
