Resilient Systems
First responders often operate under dangerous and life-threatening circumstances. The Resilient Systems portfolio ensures their technology works when they need it most. Through supporting coverage, capacity, performance, and reliability of networks, PSCR researchers help ensure first responders maintain quality of service even during periods of degradation and congestion.
Resilient Systems Portfolio Mission:
To develop, evaluate, and evangelize tools and techniques for architecting efficient, resilient networks and applications for public safety.
Resilient Systems Portfolio Vision:
For public safety personnel networks and applications to continue to function in disasters or other adverse circumstances where communication infrastructure is degraded or destroyed.
Featured Project
Public safety communication systems must continue to work - and are even more necessary - under circumstances in which other networks fail. Whether operating in an area without cellular network coverage, overcoming limited or non-existent backhaul connections, or needing to overcome frequency impairment due to disaster or jamming, first responders require uninterrupted service in a variety of scenarios.
