A really special edition that of Cortina 2021, which will certainly go down in history because of the health emergency and the absence of the public, but not only.

A network of 30 cameras (high definition, infrared, fixed), connected to an advanced video content analysis platform, it will be able to recognize and classify families of objects and analyze scenes, identifying dangerous situations, thanks to the use ofartificial intelligence and deep learning. There will be one to manage information, establish a common response plan and coordinate field operations 24-hour joint operations room. Continuity of service, even in an emergency, can be guaranteed by a network for secure and reliable business communications on the move, thanks to a RIM (Multivector Hybrid Network) system for narrowband transmissions (TETRA – TErrestrial Trunked RAdio ) and wireless broadband. (LTE – Long Term Evolution). Finally, the integrated mobile security system, a solution installed on board a vehicle and equipped with a complete operational control room, which integrates advanced technologies and sensors, a critical multi-technology radio system for secure and reliable voice and data communications, as well as video surveillance equipment, with immediate response capacity in emergency scenarios.
Certainly not the first time Leonardo has been involved in such important events.
