Use cases

Rescue operations
First responders rely on the secure, high capacity connectivity of Nokia Digital Automation Cloud and Nokia Drone Networks to search for missing persons with thermal cameras, deliver first aid kits, [showmore] facilitate mapping and route guidance after earth quakes and floods, deliver audio warnings, enable automated search and rescue with drone fleets and so on.

Traffic safety & event monitoring
Boost smart city safety initiatives with the help of police drones to patrol streets, and busy venues via crowd behavior monitoring and analysis. Real-time analytics provide helpful insight for public safety decision-making.

Prevention & inspection
Prioritize fire prevention through live video streaming to improve situational awareness and support resource planning for mission needs, risk evaluation and decision making. [showmore] Sensors and analytics can warn about the presence of hazardous gases and support early detection of leakages. Identify hot spots/ risk areas in forests to help prevent and minimize the risk of larger fires. Fire monitoring in cities can also be effectively bolstered through automated drone operations in pre-planned flight routes for safety surveillance, facility checks, and damage inspection for insurance.
Nokia Drone Networks can also be employed for effective inspection of closed or secured sites and industrial areas as well as border patrol.
Nokia Saving Lives
Nokia Saving Lives is an innovation and non-profit initiative, dedicated to supporting rescue personnel in catastrophe areas. An essential element is the creation of a local high capacity network, where it has been destroyed or perhaps never existed. As part of our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development goals, Nokia provides a limited number of this solution free of charge. Close collaboration between the rescue organization, a local operator and the Nokia Saving Lives team is essential for success of the missions. A local operator provides the needed frequency for the duration of the operation. [showmore]
The Nokia Saving Lives team deploys a local high capacity, secure network within minutes upon arrival – either as an isolated network for local operation only or connected to the macro network. This network enables push-to-talk and push-to-video. It also connects drones for HD and thermal video streaming to the ground, providing insight to the operations leader who can advise teams regarding suitable routes, locating missing persons, and improving overall situational awareness.
