ZTE, China Unicom Liaoning and Dalian Changhai Airport have put a 5G-Advanced private network with integrated sensing and communications into live service to address low-altitude security at an island test flight field. The partners deployed a private 5G-Advanced architecture that fuses high-throughput connectivity with precision sensing on the same infrastructure, tailored for a maritime, island airport where traditional patrols and single-sensor radars leave blind spots for “low, slow, small” targets such as drones and bird flocks. According to the partners, the network is running 24/7 at the test flight field and has lifted low-altitude detection accuracy near 98%. By consolidating connectivity and sensing on one footprint, the deployment claims about 30% less space and roughly 25% lower capital intensity versus separate radios and radars.
