On 9th April, Nantong Mobile opened the first low altitude private network base station in the city at Langshan Mountain area, marking the start of building of integrated low altitude flying network in Nantong.

This year, the company will build 20 new 4.9G(4800—4900MHz frequency band)stations in the core city area according to the plan, which will realize the full coverage of low altitude 300 m private network from North Street to Langshan Mountain area. Gu Jun, a Nantong Mobile 5G network technology expert, introduced that the 4.9GHz frequency band 5G private network can ensure the stable signal and less interference between the ground and low altitude. After drones are connected to the network, it can break the distance limit between the pilot and the drone in traditional drone operation, enable long distance control, and provide beyond-line-of-sight flight service, which can effectively expand the application scenarios of ‘5G+drone’; including carrying out human flow monitoring at large gatherings and scenic spots.
