5G Positioning for Rescue Services

In disaster situations, such as a major fire or chemical accident, it is important that rescue services are optimally coordinated and can act quickly. The goal: to save human lives and prevent the danger from spreading further. The availability of information about the hazardous situation is important here, so that the emergency management can assess the situation reliably and quickly and coordinate the emergency services accordingly. In addition, the danger to emergency forces should be kept as minimal as possible. Thanks to its positioning capabilities, 5G can offer added value in this area by supporting the robust and reliable positioning of drones or autonomous vehicles for hazard-free situation assessment, as well as contributing to the reliable positioning of rescue forces on the scene.
