Primoco UAV SE and T-Cell Czech Republic have verified the potential of integrating an LTE community BTS base station into the Primoco UAV One 150 unmanned aerial car. The result’s a complicated system that permits a considerable discount in cellular community restoration time in emergency conditions, relevant throughout the EU.
Current cellular disaster communication options for emergencies similar to fires, floods and windstorms depend on alternate floor car primarily based methods. Nonetheless, their deployment could also be unimaginable or too time-consuming in lots of instances. The combination of a BTS station into the Primoco UAV One 150 with an gear payload of as much as 30 kg overcomes these shortcomings. The plane meets all European civil, army and security laws and has been permitted for operation in virtually ten EU international locations. Ladislav Semetkovský, CEO of Primoco UAV SE, sees nice potential within the cooperation: “Disaster administration help is one in every of our essential product strains. Unmanned applied sciences allow fast deployment in locations the place it’s wanted, and we see many alternatives for comparable deployments within the Czech Republic, be it large-scale fires, tornadoes or floods. Co-operation with T-Cell suits completely into this method, as communication in affected areas is among the key companies that have to be supplied within the occasion of an emergency. Along with T-Cell specialists, we built-in a brand new technology BTS station into our plane and verified the capabilities of this answer throughout a sequence of a number of hour take a look at flights. Your entire system could be deployed anyplace within the European Union, as our plane absolutely complies with European laws 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 manner to make sure cellular community operation in affected areas. It is usually attainable 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 might essentially assist the work of the built-in rescue system and the military has additionally proven curiosity in it. However we’re nonetheless initially. We now have a workable idea, however we have to arrange regulation inside Europe and we’re additionally beginning to focus on synergies with EU governments to finance the operation of this answer,” says Jaroslav Holiš, Analysis&Improvement Senior Supervisor, who’s dealing with the challenge for Deutsche Telekom at T-Cell.
The Primoco UAV One 150 carries 8 kilograms of T-Cell gear. The gear is deployed when flying at an altitude of 1 to 2 kilometres. The plane takes off and lands utterly autonomously and testing of the know-how was carried out on the Písek – Krašovice airport operated by Primoco UAV SE. Relying on the take-off weight, the UAV can keep within the air for as much as 15 hours.
