What are applications? (3/4)◈Korean police recently began a short data service such as
criminal search using TETRABeginning of data service means data application will increase more in near future
◈MESA (broadband Mobility for Emergency and Safety Applications) Scenario
Day-by-Day: routine scenarios present in everyday life (like monitoring, surveillance…) that have high predictability and require an ordinary operational resources deployment (in terms of personnel and means allocated)Emergency: specific events characterized by medium predictability (that imply the acknowledgement of factors of possible danger) and require additional operational resource deploymentDisaster: specific, unpredictable events that require extra-ordinary (national, international) operational resource deployment

4. Conclusions
Survey of disaster communications in Korea reveals that most of authorities are very interested in the broadband solutions.◈
Similar results expected for other nations
Making wireless standards for disaster communications (not only terrestrial, but also satellite) and using them are very important.◈
To lower the cost and to have the interoperability ◈
Because broadband wireless disaster will come to us soon
To level up to the safe comfortable Asia◈
Trying to develop the new spectrum (e.g. 5GHz, 30GHz, …)◈
Trying to develop broadband wireless technologies in a standardized manner (good and cheap)
are also important
