IT Home On August 10, it was reported that according to Nokia's official press release, Nokia announced that it would cooperate with Swiss Telecom Broadcast to deploy the "world's largest" UAV 5G communication network in Switzerland.
IT Home learned that, The communication network will cover the whole country of Switzerland, consisting of 300 Nokia 5G UAVs, mainly used for remote area task communication, disaster area emergency communication response and other scenarios 。 The end user only needs to request UAV communication (similar to carpooling service) from Swiss Telecom Broadcasting Corporation, and the UAV will arrive after a moment, at which time relevant users can send and receive real-time information through the UAV.
Nokia said that this is the second "national" UAV network project established by the company following Belgium's "Citymesh" plan. The related plan will help Switzerland's public security and industry 4.0, and highlight Nokia's advantages in digital infrastructure project modernization and mission critical industrial edge computing (MXIE).
In terms of UAVs, Nokia currently mainly uses the "Nokia Drone" 5G UAV to build communication services, which uses a six axis design, With 30 Multiple optical zoom camera, optional “ Thermal imaging ” 、 “ Lidar ” Equal module, endurance 50 Minutes, maximum flying time 30 kilometre 。
IT之家获悉，该通信网络将覆盖瑞士全国，由 300 台诺基亚 5G 无人机（UAV）组成，主要用于偏远地区任务通信、灾害地区应急通信响应等场景。终端用户只需向瑞士电信广播公司请求无人机通信（类似于拼车服务），稍等片刻后无人机便会到达，此时相关用户即可通过无人机收发即时性信息。
诺基亚表示，这是继比利时“Citymesh”计划后该公司建立的第二个“全国性”无人机网络项目，相关计划将为瑞士的公共安全和工业 4.0 提供帮助，并突出诺基亚在数字基础设施项目现代化和关键任务工业边缘计算（MXIE）方面的优势。
而在无人机方面，诺基亚目前主要使用“Nokia Drone”5G 无人机搭建通信服务，该无人机采用六轴设计，配有 30 倍光学变焦摄像头，可选配“热成像”、“激光雷达”等模组，续航 50 分钟，最长可飞行 30 公里。
