According to the Ooredoo Group, “the Ooredoo Rescue solution includes a host of stations on a series of made-to-order buoys that are anchored around the coast.

These then feed through to the control centre of the Coast Guard, who are trained in emergency response best practices. Piloted by trained professionals in the Coast Guard control centre, the drones communicate remotely via video feed over Ooredoo’s world-class 4G Supernet. The new Ooredoo Rescue solution focuses on getting a drone carrying a life raft to the person in need in the fastest time possible, to allow them to hold on to the floatation device until human aid can reach them.”
