Dryad Networks focuses on early fire detection through distributed sensors mounted in forests. Clever design choices, including solar, supercapacitors, LoRaWAN, and up-link flexibility, make it a solid complement to infrared cameras and satellite systems for next-generation rapid wildland fire observation.
Because mesh radio deployments create dynamic self-forming networks, providing field users the ability to control and monitor the communications environment becomes essential. TrellisWare's demonstration illustrates the rich ATAK user interface enabled with ATAK's extensible plugin architecture.
Alea, Qualcomm, and Softil provided live demonstrations of 5G Sidelink as a direct mode solution at the ETSI Mission Critical Services (MCX) Plugtest and the TCCA CCBG meetings in Krakow.
The 2023 edition of Comms Connect Melbourne brought together public and private sector critical communications ecosystem members across the Australian and New Zealand region. Here are our top take-aways from the event.
The second FirstNet Users Summit, Vision 2023, brought together end users, AT&T, FirstNet Authority, and vendors supplying solutions that enhance or operate on FirstNet. The Las Vegas event showcased progress even though mission-critical services device approvals linger.
The US Super Bowl is one of the most complex public safety operations appearing on the calendar. Fortunately, the city of Houston, Texas hosted 2017's massive Super Bowl LI event. Because the city sits in Harris County, a FirstNet Band 14 Early Builder that committed to sharing its lessons learned, the event yielded a treasure trove of information about what it means to leverage a public safety LTE network. What can this mean for future European public safety LTE networks?
