Primoco UAV SE and T-Cell Czech Republic have verified the opportunity of integrating an LTE community BTS base station into the Primoco UAV One 150 unmanned aerial automobile. The result’s a sophisticated system that enables a considerable discount in cell community restoration time in emergency conditions, relevant throughout the EU.
Current cell disaster communication options for emergencies similar to fires, floods and windstorms depend on alternate floor automobile based mostly programs. Nonetheless, their deployment could also be unimaginable or too time-consuming in lots of instances. The mixing of a BTS station into the Primoco UAV One 150 with an tools payload of as much as 30 kg overcomes these shortcomings. The plane meets all European civil, navy and security rules and has been authorised for operation in virtually ten EU nations.

Co-operation with T-Cell matches completely into this technique, as communication in affected areas is without doubt one of the key providers that have to be supplied within the occasion of an emergency. Along with T-Cell specialists, we built-in a brand new era BTS station into our plane and verified the capabilities of this answer throughout a collection of a number of hour take a look at flights. All the system may be deployed anyplace within the European Union, as our plane absolutely complies with European rules and the BTS payload doesn’t have an effect on the important thing parameters of its operation and security.”
Cell sign protection utilizing UAVs is usually the one approach to make sure cell community operation in affected areas. It’s also potential to offer momentary protection in locations the place laws doesn’t permit new building or densification of base stations: “Our answer, developed along with Primoco UAV, is sort of distinctive in Europe. It could actually basically assist the work of the built-in rescue system and the military has additionally proven curiosity in it. However we’re nonetheless at first. We’ve got a workable idea, however we have to arrange regulation inside Europe and we’re additionally beginning to talk about synergies with EU governments to finance the operation of this answer,” says Jaroslav Holiš, Analysis&Growth Senior Supervisor, who’s dealing with the challenge for Deutsche Telekom at T-Cell.
