Ericsson is teaming-up with China Mobile Zhejiang and other partners to deploy 5G technology in public-safety-focused natural disaster management in China.

The move follows successful testing of a 5G mission-critical partnership solution - called the 5G Full-Closed-Loop system for Integrated Natural Disaster Management - in ten cities across the Lishui region of China.

Spanning early-warning analysis, natural disaster monitoring, command and dispatch, and post-disaster assessment, the solution has now been included in China’s Ministry of Science and Technology’s Monitoring, Early Warning and Prevention of Major Natural Disasters demonstration projects. As a result, the partners expect nationwide deployment to get underway in the coming weeks.

The solution was developed and launched by the Lishui Branch of China Mobile Zhejiang Company Limited and Ericsson along with several industry ecosystem partners under the leadership of Lishui Municipal Emergency Management Bureau.

Ericsson and China Mobile provided key insights and support for the development and validation of core applications by combining respective emergency communication practices, digital twin use cases, and network slicing technologies while jointly building 5G network connectivity.

The project was listed in the recent 5G in Verticals in China 2022 report published by the GSMA.

The solution was developed and tested in Lishui due to the region’s vulnerability to large-scale natural disasters and flash floods during the wet season.

Several criteria were identified for the solution to address, including: accurate disaster prediction; visible disaster occurrence; shared data silos; coordinated emergency command; and timely evacuation.

The solution combines the coverage, high bandwidth, low latency, and reliability benefits of advanced 5G network connectivity, edge computing, digital twins and 5G private network slicing.
