The proposal will study, develop, and validate by life trials candidate rapidly deployable lightweight communications infrastructures for emergency conditions.The infrastructures will integrate several terrestrial mobile radio networks - comprising GSM, UMTS, WiFi, and optionally WIMAX and TETRA - over satellite systems, both lightweight and rapidly deployable, and thus suitable for public safety communication. Satellite systems intrinsically present very good characteristics for a rapid deployment of a telecommunication infrastructure when and where a terrestrial infrastructure is not available (e.g. after a natural or industrial hazard). The connection to the public networks (PSTN, ISDN, Internet) is directly provided at the satellite gateway, depending on the offered service. The WISECOM project will thus use INMARSAT BGAN and DVB-RCS, one for worldwide basic services, the other for larger bandwidth support.The targeted infrastructure will cover bi-directional communication needs for voice and data, will be scalable, covering the needs for a few persons to larger groups, and should be easy to carry by a person, ideally as a carry-on cargo on planes. The infrastructure should cover the immediate needs in the first hours and days following an emergency. Furthermore, the system will integrate location-based services for emergency scenarios. A secondary objective is to study and develop an easily deployable infrastructure meant for medium to longer term needs, useful during a recovery and rebuilding phase following an emergency. The proposal will build on the experience of the partners in past EU projects such as WirelessCabin and TWISTER dealing in particularly with the integration of satellite communication systems and of terrestrial wireless communication networks.The infrastructures allow the integration of alert systems, communication to and from the citizen, and rapidly deployable emergency telecommunication systems. ver más
