What is an Incident Area Network?

AnIncidentAreaNetwork(IAN)isaself-forming,temporary,networkinfrastructuredeployedatanincidentoreventtosupportvarioussurveillanceandcommunicationsamongfirstresponders.Largescaledisastershighlighttheimportanceofpublicsafetycommunicationnetworksandtheinherentproblemswhentheyfail.Theabilitytocoordinateemergencyoperationsiscritical.Ideally,IANsare:

·Infrastructureindependent(selfcontainedpower,norequirementforexternalconnectivity)

·Error-proofconfiguration,rapidlydeployedbynon-technicalanduntrainedusers

·Self-forming,self-healing,andhighbandwidth

•Integrates all surveillance devices (legacy and new)

– audio, video, or sensor

•Creates unified command environment to view all camera positions

•Eliminates line-of-sight requirements

•Interoperates with other CommandMesh-equipped agencies
