Ericsson demonstrates ISAC drone detection in Finland

Ericsson and Finnish state company Erillisverkot demonstrated Integrated Sensing and Communication technology at the Helsinki cargo port. The 5G-based system analyzes radio signal reflections to detect small low-flying drones, combining data from multiple network points.

• ISAC uses RF signal reflections without separate sensors
• Technology runs on existing 5G infrastructure, later 6G
• Data from multiple network points gives a shared port picture
• Ericsson previously tested drone detection with AT&T
