BARCELONA, Spain, March 6,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZTE Corporation (0763.HK /
000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and
communication technology solutions, together with China Unicom and
YunHuan Technology, has been awarded the "Best Mobile Innovation
for Cities" for their innovative "5G-A Smart City Low-Altitude
Blood Delivery" project at the Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards during
MWC Barcelona 2025. The award recognizes their joint efforts in
pioneering the commercial deployment of 5G-A Integrated Sensing and
Communication technology in urban blood delivery.
To address the challenges of traditional blood delivery, such as
traffic congestion and delayed emergency response, the partners
have implemented an innovative drone-based solution in Anyang City.
The project covers a 1,200-square-kilometer urban airspace,
featuring 10 delivery routes that extend over 15 kilometers and
serve multiple hospitals across the city. With over 50 flights
operating daily, it has become the industry's largest low-altitude
drone delivery network for medical supplies, transporting blood
products, laboratory samples, pathological sections, emergency
medicines, and surgical supplies.
Operational data demonstrates remarkable improvements, with the
average blood delivery time reduced from 40 minutes to 15 minutes,
representing a 60% efficiency increase. This improvement directly
enhanced hospital emergency response, optimized surgery scheduling,
and reduced blood wastage, resulting in a 20% decrease in hospital
blood costs and 10% reduction in patient blood expenses, delivering
significant medical-economic and social benefits.
The solution leverages 5G-A Integrated Sensing and Communication
technology to provide capability of comprehensive communication
support and safety sensing for drone operations. Network
performance tests have proven the system's capability to
simultaneously monitor multiple drones' precise positions and
flight status with zero detection miss rate, validating the
commercial value of 5G-A Integrated Sensing and Communication
technology in low-altitude economics.
Looking ahead, the three partners will continue to expanding
5G-A applications in urban management and emergency response,
driving the development of low-altitude economy and bringing new
momentum to global smart city initiatives.
The annual GLOMO Awards represents the industry's most
prestigious accolade. With a judge panel comprising over 260 global
analysts, media professionals, and industry experts this year, the
GLOMO Awards 2025 celebrates individuals and companies that drive
innovation and showcase excellence in the rapidly growing mobile
industry.
