IT Home reported on August 10 that according to Nokia's official press release, Nokia announced a partnership with Swisscom Broadcast to deploy the "world's largest" drone 5G communication network in Switzerland.

IT Home learned thatThe communication network will cover the whole of Switzerland and will consist of 300 Nokia 5G drones, mainly used for mission communications in remote areas and emergency communication response in disaster areas.The end user simply requests drone communication from Swisscom Broadcasting (similar to a ride-sharing service), waits a short while for the drone to arrive, and the relevant users can then send and receive instant messages via the drone.

Nokia said this is the second "nationwide" drone network project established by the company after the Belgian "Citymesh" program. The related program will help Switzerland's public safety and Industry 4.0, and highlight Nokia's advantages in modernizing digital infrastructure projects and mission-critical industrial edge computing (MXIE).
