The document discusses project u-2010, which aims to enhance communication capabilities for emergency response teams through the use of redundant and ubiquitous networks. The project seeks to leverage all existing networks and automatic redirection between networks to ensure communication is maintained during crises or disasters. It outlines several scenarios that will be used to test and demonstrate the results, including supporting fire services and mountain rescue operations through the use of mobile ad-hoc networks and satellite connectivity.

5. Background Luxembourg – Previous Study Study by CONATEL 2003/2004, Simulation “Rupture of a dam in the north of Luxembourg (Esch-sur-Sûre)” Inventory of Communication Capacities Communication requirements in between authorities, rescue services, all the public networks and even national broadcast

6. The “Barrage d’Esch-sur-Sûre” Scenario

7. The “Barrage d’Esch-sur-Sûre” Scenario Communication needs: PHASE 4 : Bursting of the Dam

8. Esch-sur-Sûre: Lessons Learned Current telecommunication equipment of security and rescue services does not match up to the requirements Absence of protected and confidential communications does not allow for a silent mobilisation use of public GSM phones provides the only possibility of a minimum of confidentiality Public communications are the only alternative To reach the complete government structure To connect to subscribers of public networks BUT: Lack of government owned capacity The crisis scenarios required confidential and redundant communication services

9. Motivation for the Project Today ….. There is an increasing dependability on ubiquitous services and networks. In crisis and catastrophe scenarios access to information is key Expectations based on technical possibilities, exceed reality by far (European wide)

10. Project Vision To provide the most capable communication tools To provide the most effective access to information… … to all required to swiftly act in case of accident, incident, catastrophe or crisis … whilst using existing and/or future (tele)communication infrastructures

11. Goals of the Project u-2010 Enhance the availability of the collection of services by use of all existing networks Leverage redundant communication channels Use of automatic redirection and/or transformation of communications in case of network failures Use of new research results in the area of wireless ad hoc networks and IPv6. Use of existing technology and networks Create solutions that are as universal as possible

12. Goals of the Project u-2010 continued Trial and validation activities will show the application of the results in real life crisis scenarios Results of u-2010 as showcase for other Countries

13. In which situations? Five broad scenarios to test/demonstrate results: Alarm System Mountain Rescue Fire Service Sensor Monitoring Extrapolation of results to another European site (Slovenia)
