Disasters and major incidents

Major incidents and (natural) disasters are unforeseeable events that can occur at any time. Preventative measures can only be planned to a limited extent, and the scale of damage of an incident can only be determined at the scene.

Secure, reliable and robust communication is provided by IP-based, mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANet) that can be set up quickly and using no existing infrastructure. These Mesh systems offer:

• Up to 350 radio nodes that network independently of each other

• A self-healing system structure

• Immediate call establishment (approx. 0.5s)

• Gateway and relay operation for network operation in poorly covered areas

• Simultaneous voice and data communication

• Fail-safe because of own power supply

• High data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps

• Provide video, audio, or data at any point of the incident

• Data transmission at each radio node

• Integration of UAVs and UGVs (situation overview)

• Decentralized control of all radio nodes in the network

MANet delivers reliable communication at the scene at any time, as well as quick and mobile access to mission-relevant information from central databases.

Attendant personnel are supplied with all necessary information, and themselves provide up-to-date operational data from the location to all subscribers. Resources more than 15km away can also be connected to broadband via a microwave link.
