The
telecommunications and IT industries are accelerating
the
development of information exchange networks
to meet emergency
communication requirements. Innovative new
technologies and standards, provocative concepts
of operation, and an expansion of IP V4/V6,
3GWCDMA, WIFI/WIMAX Networks across space,
near space, terrestrial/wireless, fiber, and
platforms (including the human being) are
charting a course for significant transformation
in emergency and crisis response. This panel
addressed some of these technologies and concepts,
how they apply to the Emergency Responder,
and how such capabilities must interoperate
in a network centric environment for our Nation.
