Orange Spain Leverages Edge Computing and 5G SA for Fire Prevention System

Orange Spain has announced that it has commenced testing a solution designed for the prevention and early detection of fires in agri-food plants and large warehouses. This initiative leverages Edge computing and 5G SA (Standalone) technology, known as Orange 5G+. Orange said it will invest 4 million euros in this project, with almost 1.3 million euros being subsidised by the Single Sectoral 2023 Program launched by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.

Orange 5G+ and Edge Computing Integration

The project is based on an application that collects real-time data from IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, drones, and autonomous robots using Orange Spain’s 5G SA Network. This information is processed with the help of AI, which can predict a fire before it occurs by detecting thermal anomalies. Additionally, it generates immediate automatic responses through ultra-low latency, Orange said in an official statement.

Commenting on the project, Orange said, “This project is an example of the great potential of Edge Computing technology, supported by a 5G+ network, in the business world. These two technologies allow data processing to be carried out very close to the place where they are generated, which is key in all applications that require immediate response times, such as industrial automation, security services or the development of smart cities with the aim of improving the quality of life in urban environments.”
