Emergnet
Communication to everyone during a disaster
The challenge
In recent years, the number and frequency of natural disasters and man-made disasters has been increasing, these often cause the disconnection of public communications and power outages in the disaster areas, thereby making it difficult for the residents to establish contact between themselves and between them and the rescue forces.
Emergency communication
The purpose of "Emergnet" is to provide communication to citizens and rescue forces in crisis events where the cellular network and/or electricity goes down.
Always connected network
The network will allow wide local communication (within the network) including calls, text and video even in the absence of any connection to the Internet (complete loss of wired, cellular and satellite).
A robust network
The network will allow any user connected to communicate text (WhatsApp for example) to any user in the world.
Every day
The communication network will be used during routine times as an infrastructure for transferring sensor data
