7 February 2008 Innovation and Results Heterogeneous Inter-networking Architectures for Emergency Services –i.e. TETRA – WiMAX inter working with SIP and VoIP (deployable prototype) –adaptive network control and management Wireless Sensor Networks –Provide emergency entities access to sensor in other networks (i.e. to video cameras in a highway surveillance system), –Integration of Wireless Sensor networks for critical scenarios monitoring (highway during construction), access to the sensors via heterogeneous networks. –Easy configuration – ad-hoc networks –A demonstrator will show this service in Luxembourg

8 February 2008 Innovation and Results contd. Workforce management for emergency services –exchanging information with external applications –interoperability over heterogeneous networks –deployable prototype Prototype infrastructure including service providers and users for performance tests and a quantitative evaluation of the results.
