Title:
LifeLine Station: A Quickly Deployable Package for Post Disaster?Communications
Abstract:
In disaster situations, communication inside and outside the disaster
site is an important factor as much as watering or electricity. However,
if the existing infrastructure is damaged, such communication will not
be available or effective. Expecting a major earthquake that may
seriously damage the existing facility and infrastructure such as power
supply, telephony, Internet access and broadcasting, this research
designs LLS and implements its prototype. ?This presentation shows the
current status of R&D of LLS, and addresses further challenges and issues.
