LDLNDECENTRALIZED COMMUNICATION ARCHITECTURE FOR DISASTER RELIEF

PROJECT

DATEMARCH 28, 2014

PURPOSEPHILIPPINES REACHOUT

WHATWE AT LDLN ARE DEVELOPING INEXPENSIVE, DISTRIBUTED LOCAL DATA HUBS AND MOBILE APPS TO IMMEDIATELY ADDRESS DAMAGED COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURES THAT ARE UNFORTUNATELY COMMON IN THE WAKE OF NATURAL DISASTERS.

HOWSMALL, INEXPENSIVE, BATTERY-POWERED DEVICES, ACTING AS SERVERS, ARE DISTRIBUTED TO RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS IN AFFECTED AREAS.

Deploy

HOWRELIEF SPECIALISTS USE THE LATEST MOBILE DEVICES AND TOOLS TO COLLECT AND CURATE DATA.

Collection

● Geolocation● Images● Comments● History● Sharing● Syncing

HOWWHEN FIELD AGENTS WITH THE APPS ARE WITHIN RANGE OF A HUB, ANY CHANGES IN THE DATA ARE WIRELESSLY SYNCED BETWEEN THE TWO AUTOMATICALLY.

Syncing

HOWAS TEAM MEMBERS TRAVEL BETWEEN HUBS, THE DATA THEY HAVE SYNCED AT THEIR PREVIOUS NODES ARE AUTOMATICALLY SHARED WITH THE NEXT NODE AND ANYONE THAT SYNCS THERE LATER.

Share

HOWANY TIME AN APP OR A HUB GAINS CONNECTIVITY, DATA IS AUTOMATICALLY PUSHED TO CENTRALIZED SERVERS AND WEB SERVICES.

Connect

WHO● NGOs and Aid Groups● Governments● Distribution Networks● Corporate Interests

WHY● Speed● Time Savings● Added Information● Redundancy● Consistency● Scalability● Low Cost● Resilience

CURRENT ABILITIES● Survey survivors● Add points and notes on maps● Sync against nodes● Manage data locally via a web UI

FUTURE PLANS● Extend mesh network range (Repeaters)● App auto-update and pushing● Local and web version of data collection● Self-contained deployment kit for field use● Further power refinements for long-term placement

(battery life, renewable recharge)● Expand field testing/deployment partnerships
