Sendai city deploys connected drone technology from Nokia to create a tsunami warning system in Japan
The drones will function automatically in a secured and reliable private wireless network that will help in rescue and evacuation of survivors using thermal cameras
"In the event of disaster, the most important thing is to protect the lives of people. In this regards the drones can quickly and widely sound the tsunami evacuation alarm in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. In addition, since they operate automatically, the lives of the people providing evacuation alerts are protected. On the use of drones, we believe Nokia proposed a solid solution to our problems. We feel very encouraged to be able to take on these issues together with a technology leader like Nokia."
