5G drones assist emergency services during operations
- Vodafone, Frequentis, DLR, and the Rostock Fire Brigade are testing drones in rescue missions
- Drones transmit initial aerial images directly to the control centre – even before emergency service crews arrive
- Emergency response times are reduced by around 7 minutes
- Reliable aerial footage allows more detailed operational planning, even in hard-to-reach locations
“We bring video and sensor data immediately to our LifeX or ASGARD control centre and to the approaching emergency responders. This ensures that everyone involved in the operation has the same, consistent information about the scene immediately, and at all times, regardless of location. This shared situational awareness accelerates decision-making and ensures a faster, appropriate, and effective response to the situation,” says Günter Graf, Vice President New Business Development at Frequentis.
