Application Context and Core Value of MESH Networks in Emergency Rescue
Application Context and Core Value of MESH Networks in Emergency Rescue
Natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods are characterized by their sudden onset, extensive damage range, and severe destruction of infrastructure. After an earthquake occurs, traditional communication base stations (e.g., 4G/5G macro sites) and fiber optic lines are often destroyed due to building collapses or landslides, leading to"communication blackout" scenarios. During the critical"golden 72-hour" window for emergency response, seamless information exchange between the rescue command center and frontline teams, between affected populations and the outside world, and among various rescue forces directly determines rescue efficiency and the success rate of life-saving operations.
Leveraging its technical features - such as being infrastructure-less, self-discovering, self-organizing, and self-healing - MESH broadband self-organizing networks can rapidly establish a temporary"integrated air-ground and coordinated ground-air" communication network in scenarios without pre-existing infrastructure. This makes it a core technical solution for"restoring the information lifeline" in earthquake relief efforts. Its core value is reflected in three aspects:
1. Rapid Deployment: Single-node devices (e.g., portable MESH terminals, UAV MESH relays) can be carried by rescue personnel. They automatically form a network within one minute of being powered on, requiring no professional configuration.
2. Flexible Scalability: The network supports flexible access for 1 to 32 nodes. New nodes can automatically integrate into the network, extending coverage from a few kilometers to tens or even hundreds of kilometers.
3. High Resilience: The decentralized node design ensures that the failure of single or multiple nodes does not affect the overall network. It also supports multi-path transmission, guaranteeing uninterrupted communication.
