As landslides and other destructive geological events increase in frequency around the world, densely populated areas such as China are at especially high risk. When landslides happen in areas like these, the potential for massive loss of life and extensive property damage is staggering. This makes early warning of these events critical so authorities can take action to protect people and property. Nokia partnered with China Mobile to develop a landslide monitoring and alarm system (LMAS) built on Nokia’s IMPACT IoT platform. This system enables the BGIGC Group, a Chinese highway operations management company, to detect and respond more effectively to landslides along their roadways.
