Nokia and Motorola Solutions announced a technological partnership to launch an automated drones-in-a-box solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI). This innovative proposal is designed to enhance public safety and optimize operations in critical industries such as energy, mining, ports, and manufacturing.
The integration of Nokia Drone Networks with the CAPE software from Motorola Solutions offers advanced capabilities to provide real-time situational awareness, remote operations, and faster and more efficient decision-making in critical moments.
How the solution works
Drones can be autonomously dispatched from operations centers to assess emergencies before the arrival of first responders, facilitating the efficient allocation of resources. Equipped with AI, the drones transmit key information and automatically adjust their trajectory to avoid obstacles and adapt to the terrain’s altitude.
Connectivity via 4G/LTE and 5G networks enables beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, extending their range to remote and hard-to-access locations.
Key benefits of the integration
- Public safety: The solution enhances the safety of rapid response teams by providing real-time tactical intelligence that allows for de-escalation of incidents and better coordination of operations.
- Critical industries: In sectors like energy and offshore wind farms, drones replace helicopters, reducing costs and carbon emissions.
- Sustainability: The technology meets international standards, integrating upgradable components that minimize electronic waste.
Testimonials and experience
Roxana Kennedy, chief of police for the Chula Vista Police Department in California, highlighted the impact of the technology:
“Since 2018, we have flown over 21,000 missions with the Drone as First Responder program, providing vital intelligence to save lives and improve our operations.”
Jehan Wickramasuriya, Vice President of Intelligence Platforms at Motorola Solutions, emphasized the value of AI in these solutions:
“We innovate to deliver actionable insights in real time and simplify evidence collection.”
Stephan Litjens, Vice President of Business Solutions at Nokia, concluded:
“Together we are transforming drones into daily assistants for critical and public safety operations, setting a new standard for connectivity and artificial intelligence.”
Conclusion
The collaboration between Nokia and Motorola Solutions strengthens the use of drones in public safety and critical industries, providing a comprehensive and sustainable solution that accelerates decision-making and enhances safety. With these technologies, both emergency agencies and industrial companies can operate more effectively, reducing risks and operational costs.
