Citymesh has opened the new headquarters of its Safety Drone division on the DronePort campus in St Truiden, Belgium.
Citymesh currently operates fifty-three docking stations that are spread across Belgium, said a DronePort post. “These stations, which have been developed in partnership with Nokia and carry CE certification, are directly connected to the emergency call centers of the Belgian fire brigades. Whenever an incident is reported, a drone can be deployed automatically from the nearest station within minutes, giving emergency services immediate situational awareness,” says Hans Similon, General Manager Citymesh Safety Drone. To manage these deployments, Citymesh relies on a dedicated group of ten certified drone pilots who operate the fleet in rotating shifts from the three Remote Operation Centers.
Earlier this year Citymesh installed a fully operational docking station at DronePort, its very first DIAB system on an active airport.
According to the companies, since the start of the year the Safety Drone fleet has performed more than 3600 flights, accounting for over 800 flight hours, and has supported more than 1900 emergency interventions in 2025. In the field of security, the company is experimenting with systems that link cameras and sensors on monitored sites with the drone network. When an alarm is triggered the system can send a drone to the location of the alert, allowing real-time visual information to be transmitted to operators and security teams.
