On the 23rd of September, Connectivity Innovation Network’s Technical Director, Distinguished Professor Jay Guo, will join Des Ward (Technical Co-Director, UTS–TPG Network Sensing Lab & RAN Strategy, Innovation and Sustainability, TPG Telecom) to present on Network Sensing and Digital Twin for Flood Intelligence at the 6G World’s Intelligent Wireless Systems Summit 2025.

Network Sensing and Digital Twin for Flood Intelligence

Start event: 9:00 AM EST / 11:00 PM AEST (Sydney)
Dist. Prof. Jay Guo’s & Des Ward’s session: 10:10–10:30 AM EST  / 12:10–12:30 AM AEST on 24 September (Sydney)

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters in Australia and worldwide. This session will show how Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) can be used to deliver real-time environmental data for flood sensing. Together, UTS, TPG Telecom and the NSW State Emergency Service have developed an integrated network sensing and digital twin platform to monitor rainfall and water movement, predicting and visualising flooding risks.

This research not only paves the way for the uptake of ISAC in future 6G systems but also demonstrates what is already possible in today’s 5G networks.

The work has been carried forward into the Sensing for Disasters Solutions initiative, a CIN project developed in conjunction with the NSW Smart Sensing Network. By harnessing robotics, AI and IoT, these projects aim to improve disaster preparedness and response, addressing the growing impact of extreme weather events across NSW and beyond.
