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
