On October 28–29, Comune di Torino brought theory to life, hosting a hands-on demonstration showcasing how 5G-connected drones can boost emergency response in real-world conditions.

Using the DROMThub mission planning platform, the team carried out a Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) autonomous flight over the Superga Hill in Turin, supported by the 5G network provided by wind tre. The drone’s live video feed, positioning, system and GPS data were streamed directly to the local police control room, where operators monitored the mission in real time.

During the flight, the drone followed a pre-defined route toward a simulated rescue target — a person in a yellow jacket — allowing teams to test how quickly and accurately they can assess a situation from above. Thanks to the stable 5G connection, the video feed remained consistent and uninterrupted, while telemetry data provided precise positioning and full command control throughout the mission.

Demo days also featured a presentation by Stefano Primatesta and Politecnico di Torino, who introduced an early version of their web-based BVLOS route planning tool, designed to support, facilitate and speed up future large-scale drone operations.
