New technologies for Situational Awareness are providing real-time information to not only to public safety but to the public itself. Alerting has taken on a new life as government agencies, municipalities and other organizations now have the near ubiquity of Rich Communication Services for notifications. It is an easy extension to non-phone devices for a larger enriched ecosystem of alerts. Cameras, sensors, smart city applications, satellites and drones have become vital in assisting in everything from missing persons to disaster response, but the signals can cause interference. And in today’s world of "everything wireless," the electromagnetic spectrum is becoming a critical part of situational awareness, both in knowing what spectrum is available for use, and what spectrum needs to be avoided due to willful interference.
Join this panel to discuss how new technologies help data become known in real-time, broadcasted easily with no interference, and provide actionable and appropriate response measures.
Takeaway
Takeaways:
Discover the advancements in Rich Communication Services an easy extension to non-phone devices for a larger enriched ecosystem of alerts.
Examine how satellites, drones, autonomous vehicles and other wireless advancements are enabling real-time intelligence, where it's needed most, using high-performance wireless networks.
Learn how Radio Frequency Real-Time Situational Awareness (RF-RTSA) involves the use of radio frequency data and sensors to monitor, analyze, and enhance operational planning where the electromagnetic spectrum is a critical domain. The critical elements needed for an RF-RTSA system are discussed, and an example of a soon-available RF-based geolocation and situational awareness system is summarized.
