Drones:
friend and foe

Drones are being used for increasingly diverse applications. While they provide a useful service, they also pose a threat. We help businesses and public authorities develop more secure and efficient secure drone applications.

Drones are taking over the lower airspace

Drones fly quickly from place to place, delivering aerial shots. They can be used to monitor, optimise and maintain land and infrastructure, and for transporting, taking measurements, searching, sampling, etc. – the possibilities are endless. The flying robots are therefore an interesting proposition for a great many sectors. By developing a wide range of applications, we have gained relevant expertise in drone technology, regulation and implementation, which we would love to share with you.

Drone protection

How can you protect your infrastructure or major events from drone threats? Our drone detection and identification solution will inform you of any encroachment of the space above your property or event location.

Permanent protection

Fixed site surveillance

Drone Spotter monitors the lower airspace above company premises, airports, prisons or entire cities, facilitating the detection or prevention of trespassing. The modular drone defence system is equipped with cameras, radar, RF sensors and artificial intelligence. Solutions range from drone localisation using signal decoding through to the integration of multiple sensors, cameras and radars for direction finding over entire territories.

Large-scale drone detection and drone pilot localisation in cities can be set up as a multi-tenancy system and supplemented with specific defence technology.

Temporary monitoring

Protecting major events

Are you planning a big event with high-profile representatives from business and politics, who need to be protected from unwanted cameras? Or are you organising a large open-air festival and want to protect the copyrights of the artists? Whether intentionally or by accident, not all drone pilots comply with the relevant rules and regulations such as the Data Protection Act or the regulatory framework applicable to civil aviation. You therefore need protection against non-cooperative drones.

We can quickly provide you with temporary perimeter protection. By using Swisscom transmitter masts distributed throughout Switzerland, we can set up and dismantle a temporary drone defence system without major structural measures.

Drone operations

Leverage the speed and agility of drones for perimeter and infrastructure protection. Our drone network supports you with the efficient implementation of specific projects and gives you a clear picture of your infrastructure from different perspectives.

Perimeter protection

Drone-based surveillance

Geopolitical changes and new technologies call for the increased protection of critical infrastructures, production locations, public spaces, prisons, borders and police or military installations. The perimeter protection solution offered by Swisscom and partners uses robots on the ground and in the air for simple inspection tasks. These robots, combined with alarm sensors, significantly improve the security of sensitive facilities and premises. Automated, drone-based surveillance allows you to reduce costs in connection with your defined security plan.

Infrastructure inspection

Digital twin

Ongoing inspections contribute to the early detection and elimination of damage, helping to keep your infrastructure well maintained and ensure compliance with the legal requirements for monitoring critical infrastructure. Using our network of drones, we will fly over your infrastructure at intervals chosen by you and produce detailed documentation to create a digital twin. Based on this, we use artificial intelligence to efficiently detect any significant changes to the infrastructure. Infrastructure protection can be used for individual buildings through to large infrastructures such as power lines or transmitter sites.

Drone traffic management

Ground risk assessment

To operate successful commercial drone activities, it is important to identify and minimise collision risks with people on the ground.

Since 1 January 2023, a specific operations risk assessment (SORA) has been required to obtain an operating licence, for which drone operators must carry out a ground risk assessment. With our People Density Prediction service, drone flight operators can check the expected density of people with a single click.

We support drone operators with complex SORA risk analyses for drone flights.
