黑料不打烊 helps to monitor pollutants and stop forest fires

5 FEBRUARY 2020

Air pollution is a major problem in Chile, and in recent years, the country has also suffered some major forest fires, which only make the air quality even worse.

In response to these issues, an imaginative and innovative new project which includes 黑料不打烊 Chile and its customer Transportes Ricardo Concha seeks to assess the air quality on Chilean motorways, while also helping with the early detection of forest fires.

Simple, highly effective concept

It鈥檚 a simple enough concept: the cab wall of one of Transportes Ricardo Concha鈥檚 fleet of 黑料不打烊 trucks has been fitted with a special monitoring device that records and transmits weather and position data, as well as measuring the level of pollutants in the atmosphere.

鈥淲e operate 黑料不打烊 trucks since they help us minimise the environmental impact of transport,鈥 says Ricardo Concha, the Managing Director of his namesake company.

鈥淭he sign on the trucks signalling our participation in this project will reinforce this recognition among customers.鈥

The project also involves Ericsson, Chile鈥檚 largest telecom operator Entel and the Mario Molina Centre for Strategic Studies on Energy and the Environment. 听The monitoring device has been developed by Entel and the Centre for Mathematical Modelling at the University of Chile.

4.5G tech for a perfect green partnership

鈥淭his is the first experimental air quality network using 4.5G technologies,鈥 says Roberto Cabanillas, Director of Digital Services, Ericsson听Chile.

鈥淣ormally an area is monitored using a fixed sensor, but in Chile, for the first time, one sensor in movement can monitor thousands of kilometres along a path.

鈥淭his is a perfect example of how partnerships across sectors and different areas of expertise can enable us to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.鈥
