Paul Kho (Editor FUENF G) discusses a 5G use case involving drones to support emergency responders with Daniel Wolbers (Head of Bid & Solution Management, MEDIA BROADCAST) and Dr. Timo Maurer (Innovation Management – Economic Development, Harburg District Germany).

In detail: Media Broadcast and the Economic Development in the Harburg District report on drone control in public and private 5G networks. The advantages of private infrastructure, especially at large events, are explained in the interview. Drone imagery can support authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS) in mission planning and control.

Early situational awareness, for example, enables an effective deployment of rescue resources. The application was successfully tested in one of the largest 5G campus networks in Germany, recently deployed by Media Broadcast in the TIP Innovation Park in Buchholz in der Nordheide.

In collaboration with the operator of the innovation park, the Economic Development in the Harburg District, and other partners like Qualcomm, the drone’s deployment was demonstrated. Local security forces, including police, fire department, and emergency services, also participated in the test.
