Mobile telephony will allow the detection of drones. Swedish technology, Polish operator

The conference at Ericsson's Krakow headquarters showcased the use of 5G networks for drone detection, highlighting the ISAC technology that integrates mobile communication with object detection. This system, tested by the Polish operator Play, utilizes existing cell towers and acoustic sensors from Asseco Poland. Key partners include Ericsson, Play, and Cellnex, each contributing essential components for the ISAC system. The technology aims to enhance Poland's air defense capabilities by providing real-time data on drone movements, addressing challenges in dual-use technology implementation, and fostering strategic partnerships for future deployments.
