ISAC Innovation | Ericsson Demos Drone Detection PoC at Texas
Ericsson successfully demonstrated a live proof‑of‑concept for its Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technology at its Plano, Texas headquarters, using massive‑MIMO radios to detect and track drones in real time. The trial showed that existing 5G infrastructure can be repurposed to sense passive objects, providing wide‑area situational awareness without additional hardware. Ericsson highlighted the relevance for national security, commercial drone delivery, and future 6G standards, noting that 3GPP Release 19 studies are already underway. The demonstration underscores Ericsson’s U.S. manufacturing investment and its role in shaping the next generation of wireless networks.
