T-Mobile US Enables Advanced Wildfire Detection with 5G, Takes Home Innovation Award

GTI recognized the Un-carrier with the Innovative Mobile Service and Application Award at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona for its breakthrough partnership with Pano AI

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At the GTI Awards 2023 in Barcelona, T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) won the Innovative Mobile Service and Application Award from GTI. The award recognizes T-Mobile’s work with Pano AI, a disaster preparedness technology solutions provider, which uses its expansive 5G network to monitor, detect and aid in preventing wildfires in rural areas and help stop them from growing out of control. As wildfires across the world become more frequent and severe, T-Mobile is using its leading nationwide 5G network to help reduce the impact of these disasters across the U.S.

Pano AI deploys ultra-high-definition cameras, and its proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform constantly scans for and identifies wildfires in the very early stages. T-Mobile’s expansive 5G network enables Pano AI to gather high-quality video in at-risk areas and send vast amounts of data to Pano AI’s command center in real-time. This allows Pano AI to maximize the efficacy of its AI platform and quickly detect potentially hazardous scenarios with reliability.

"5G is capable of doing so much more beyond the devices in people's pockets," said John Saw, EVP, Advanced & Emerging Technologies, T-Mobile. "We're honored to receive this award for our work in mitigating wildfires with Pano AI, and hope it inspires others to consider how 5G can keep people and communities safe, fight the growing effects of climate change and improve lives around the world."
