The document summarizes the emergency communications challenges faced by the Atascocita Volunteer Fire Department (AVFD) during Hurricane Rita in 2005, including a complete loss of contact and inability to respond. It describes the solutions developed after the storm, including establishing a Community Response Task Force (CRTF) and adopting the Wave communications system to provide interoperable digital communications over IP networks. The CRTF model has expanded to coordinate response from faith-based, non-profit, and private sector community groups during emergencies.
Ericsson Technology Review – Microwave backhaul gets a boost with multibandEricsson
With the exception of Northeast Asia, 65 percent of all cell sites will be connected to the rest of the network using microwave backhaul technology by 2020. Between now and then, the performance of microwave backhaul will continue to improve, supporting growing capacity needs through technology evolution and more efficient use of spectrum. So as the dominant backhaul media in modern networks, the ability of microwave to carry traffic plays a significant role in providing good mobile network performance.
Technology evolution, increased mobility, and massive digitalization continue to place ever more demanding performance requirements on networks. The constant pressure to increase performance translates into a need for more spectrum, and more efficient use of it – not just when it comes to radio access, but for microwave backhaul as well.
But spectrum is a finite natural resource, so technology developments not only need to be able to make use of higher frequencies, they also need to unleash the potential of all the untapped spectrum that exists.
Radio-link bonding is a well-established method for enhancing peak capacity, enabling multiple radio carriers to be aggregated into a single virtual one. So far, developments have focused on bonding carriers within the same frequency band. The multiband booster concept, however, uses radio-link bonding to aggregate carriers in different frequency bands, enabling the full spectrum potential to be unleashed.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

12. Unified Group Communications Group Communications can mean different things to different organizations. For some it may mean carrying radio traffic across an IP network to link geographically remote areas. To others it might mean the bridging together of different radio systems or frequencies, or the ability to facilitate multiple simultaneous talk channels on financial trading floors. Unified Group Communications is all of that, and more. Unified Group Communications can be defined as the convergence of disparate communications devices with IP telephony systems and other pre-existing group communications capabilities http://www.twistpair.com/index/unified
16. WAVE is based on open software standards to provide flexibility and a low total cost of ownership to users. Customers use their existing devices and infrastructure to achieve interoperability and don’t need to replace their radios or other communications tools.
