🚁📡 What happens when critical communication infrastructure is no longer available?
In disaster and crisis situations, reliable connectivity can make all the difference.
At the final demonstration of the project, we successfully showcased a drone-based 5G network that can be rapidly deployed to establish a broadband communication infrastructure from the air. The system enables emergency responders to exchange data, receive real-time situational awareness from reconnaissance drones, and remotely operate robots in challenging environments.
The airborne solution is based on a lightweight 5G communication box developed by Fraunhofer FOKUS and integrated into a heavy-lift drone, enabling connectivity even when existing infrastructure is unavailable.
A big thank you to our project partners CADUS e.V. - International Disaster Response, Roboverse Reply, Technische Hochschule Wildau, Technische Universität Berlin and MIT GmbH, as well as Bundesanstalt für den Digitalfunk (BDBOS) and Bundesministerium des Innern for their collaboration and support.
