How can 5G help rescue teams save more lives?

Use case leveraging 5G-Powered Drones, Edge Computing, and AI for Real-Time Disaster Response


The Problem

Enhancing Efficiency and Speed in Disaster Response

Traditional search and rescue operations struggle to rapidly locate and assist victims in disaster scenarios.

The increasing frequency of emergencies and limited resources challenge first responders in efficiently covering large areas and making quick, informed decisions. Current methods often lack real-time situational awareness, potentially leading to delayed responses and compromised rescue efforts.


The Solution

5G-Enabled Drones and AI-Powered Video Analytics

This innovative solution combines 5G-powered drones, a mobile network-on-wheels, and AI-driven video analytics.

Drones deployed to disaster areas transmit high-quality video feeds to the mobile network unit, where AI processes the footage in real-time, identifying people, vehicles, and animals. Telenor's 5G technology ensures reliable video transmission with guaranteed performance through a private network.


The Results

Transforming Disaster Response:
Faster, Smarter, and Saving Lives

This technology significantly enhances search and rescue operations by providing improved situational awareness. It enables first responders to locate victims more quickly and make informed decisions.

Real-time video analysis helps prioritize rescue efforts, potentially saving more lives. This smart approach offers a more sustainable and scalable solution, reducing the need for continual expansion of physical and human resources.


The Value Proposition

A Quantum Leap in Emergency Management

This 5G-powered solution representsa paradigm shift in emergency management. It optimizes existing resources to meet increasing demands, reducing the need for additional staff and equipment.

Beyond operational improvements, it positions organizations at the forefront of technological innovation in crisis response. The system's data collection capabilities enable continuous improvement through post-incident analysis and informed future planning. By adopting this technology, emergency services can not only enhance their immediate response capabilities but also drive long-term advancements in disaster management strategies, ultimately leading to more efficient, effective, and life-saving operations.
