From Pilot to Practice: Drones, 5G and AI in Urban Public Safety
Cities are investing in drones, 5G and AI for public safety — but moving from pilot to operational reality is harder than it looks. Drawing on the EU-funded 5G4LIVES project, this session shares field experience from Riga, where 5G-connected drones were tested for urban search-and-rescue, and Turin, where the technology faced complex hillside terrain and civil protection scenarios — and what any city needs before this becomes routine.
