A change in the roaming prices is not expected to have a material impact on Elisa’s profits. Elisa’s 2020 guidance and mid-term financial targets are intact. elisa roaming
Elisa to track and predict the spread of coronavirus
HUS Helsinki University Hospital utilizes Elisa’s intelligent real-time situational awareness view and aggregated location data to monitor people’s movements to support a deeper understanding and management of the coronavirus pandemic.
Elisa provides HUS Helsinki University Hospital with anonymous, aggregated location data and an online solution that pulls data from various data sources. The collected data is then integrated, analyzed and visualized for the HUS management.
From all the collected data, a live situation awareness view is built that HUS uses to monitor and predict the spread of the coronavirus. Elisa’s smart dashboard solution provides several different perspectives on the development of the pandemic and hospital staff and equipment availability. elisa roaming eu
The online situation view also uses anonymous, aggregated location data provided by Elisa to HUS. This provides HUS a powerful tool to monitor people’s whereabouts in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
Obtaining data from people’s whereabouts is based on how devices utilizing the mobile network and data, such as smartphones, connect to base stations across the metropolitan area. Gaining visibility into people’s movements plays an important role in predicting the effects of coronavirus spread on medical care. elisa roaming eu
