🌲 A recent milestone in an ongoing project co-funded by Vinnova and the programme for Advanced Digitalization has brought about remarkable progress. In a successful test conducted in a forest outside Västerås, central Sweden, a drone operating as a mobile 5G base station was used to remotely control a forestry machine. This significant achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of partners including Mittuniversitetet, Telia, Ericsson, Skogforsk, SCA, Volvo CE, and Biometria. In November 2021, the project group marked a significant breakthrough by remotely controlling a timber loader at SCA’s Torsboda terminal in northern Sweden. Building on this success, the team set their sights on utilizing a drone equipped with a portable mobile base station to extend 5G network coverage, a goal they successfully realized. 📶 During the test, the drone, positioned approximately 500m from the forestry machine, established a coverage area reaching up to 3km. Notably, the driver of the forestry machine operated from Skogforsk’s remote control lab in Uppsala, a distance of roughly 80km! The project's focus on leveraging drone technology and 5G to enable remote-controlled vehicles in Sweden's remote areas is truly pioneering. Researchers at Mittuniversitetet are diligently studying data communication latency and reliability, crucial factors in remotely controlling machinery.
