Ericsson is partnering with China Mobile Group Zhejiang Co. Ltd. and other parties in order to deploy 5G solutions for natural disaster management systems in China. This follows the successful test of a 5G mission critical partnership solution in ten cities in Lishui, China.

The solution includes early-warning analysis, natural disaster monitoring, command and dispatch, and post-disaster assessment, and has now been included in China’s Ministry of Science and Technology’s Monitoring, Early Warning and Prevention of Major Natural Disasters demonstration projects.

Ericsson and China Mobile supported 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.

Nationwide deployment is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
