Project description
Emergency communication device for disaster management
Telecommunications networks can be severely damaged by natural or man-made disasters. The EU-funded MeshFlow project is designing a mobile node that helps establish a communication network when the traditional communication infrastructure is not available or accessible. MeshFlow’s solution is versatile and portable, meaning that the node can be placed in buildings, vehicles, drones, helicopters, airplanes or ad hoc hardware that can be carried in a backpack. Smartphones, tablets or desktops can connect to this moving node via a radio access layer (2G, 3G, LTE base station, WiFi) for voice and data services.
Objective
During natural disasters or terrorist attacks, stationary tower-based centralized telecommunications networks are vulnerable. MeshFlow is a distributed telecommunications network, made of nodes, each connected to the other, where each node is an autonomous core mobile network.
The feasibility assessment will focus on following technical and business objectives during its 4 months:
• Prepare software development plan to finalize MeshFlow that meets Functional Requirements;
• Investigate the options to collaborate with Fraunhofer FOKUS (FF) and Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (FH).
• Scout and secure pilot users from EU public safety, civil protection and disaster management or military sectors. For this CND will rely on its various OEM partners, such as blackned GmbH, who have an established outreach to the user market. blackned GmbH is a high-tech IT and consulting company with headquarters in Southern Germany. Their portfolio comprises command, control, and communications solutions for a number of different industrial branches and applications.
