Elisa and Sensofusion plan drone detection network in Finland and Estonia

Finnish telecoms operator Elisa and drone company Sensofusion plan to build a privately owned drone detection network in Finland and Estonia, Yle reports.

The companies have established a joint venture, Masthead Oy, which combines Sensofusion’s drone detection technology with Elisa’s mobile network infrastructure in both countries. The venture has already begun operations.

“Sensofusion’s technology is designed to detect, identify and track drones reliably in demanding environments,” Sensofusion chief executive Tuomas Rasila said in a statement, according to Elisa.
