Broadband Wireless Access Technologies for Deployable Systems

Where are they?

Broadband Wireless Access Technologies for Deployable Systems_On-Demand Session — Maintaining broadband services during an emergency is still an open issue for the public safety community. In disaster events where telecommunications equipment is knocked out or when emergencies happen in the middle of nowhere, first responders are left out in the open for the first initial hours without their broadband tools. PSCR's Highly Mobile Deployed Networks project, sponsored by DHS, has been working over the past four years at investigating solutions to this challenge. The broad scope of the projects has led to key insights into how to employ today's technology to provide broadband communications as first responders arrive on scene. In this session, PSCR discusses why deployable systems for public safety have not yet taken off, and possible solutions to the communications equipment for public safety.
