GPS for Wildfires

The evaluation kit consists of 10" Android Tablet, an Iridium Go and an InHand ir300 4G-LTE router with WiFi and dimensions of 90mm x 90mm x 25 mm. Puck antenna for 4G is included as are 4G and Satellite test accounts.

The evalkit is mounted in a Pelican Case with dimensions of 48cm x 35 cm x 18 cm and intended for temporary instal and testing of the services and should not be mechanically attached to the airframe.

TEMPORARY USE
for seasonal wildfires the portable case version can used without the need for STC providing it is not affixed to the airframe.

SAR TEAMS
Datalink's Webgate offers a variant for SAR teams. Click here for more details.

The SHOUT ns can also operate with a CR123 non-rechargeable battery. The ns supports transmission of free-text, canned messages and a combination of free-text and canned messages via a smart phone. The device can periodically wake up from sleep to send its position report to a command center. A dual button 911 feature is used for immediate emergency/alert notifications. Data is packaged in either standard or 256-bit AES encrypted format. Data can also be sent in encrypted PECOS formats to include Brevity codes.

The NAL SHOUT ns is ideal for Search and Rescue personnel. Very light and small, it can be worn on the body and links to Iridium Satellites and to Smartphones over Bluetooth allowing for GPS tracking and two-way text messages.

Now you can put the internet and 4G-LTE and Wi-Fi in Helicopters and fixed wing small aircraft. Police and SAR Helicopters can stream live video to multiple screens, fixed location and mobile. In the USA, Police and other emergency services are switching to AT&T FIRSTNET. In the U.K. Police and emergency services are switching from TETRA UHF to AIRWAVE LTE.

Helicopters normally fly between 1,000 and 10,000 ft. well within coverage of 4G-LTE. However 4G-LTE is limited typically to within 50 miles of populated regions. Iridium Satellite service is available everywhere. CLOUD based WebGATE is an open, network agnostic 4G-LTE and satellite data services routing hub that can display all assets, ground and airborne on shared common screens.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Emergency Services aircraft may be required to fly in adverse weather conditions with low visibility. Datalink's dynamic GPS tracking App monitors the speed, altitude and heading of all aircraft in a defined geo-coded area. Where two or more aircraft are on a collision course, alarm alerts are transmitted to each aircraft. Using 4G-LTE, latency is almost zero. Where 4G-LTE is not available Iridium CERTUS modems can be the fall-back network with latency estimated at under three seconds. Only aircraft flying within a geo-zoned radius of X Km (programmable) will appear on the WebGate screens,

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
Datalink's CLOUD service with global coverage can provide you with a choice of voice and data communication terminals, ranging from pocket sized NAL SHOUT ns with links to smartphones and laptops over bluetooth Click here to view the NAL product catalog. Also Iridium Satellite devices including the CERTUS unit.

WILDFIRE FIREFIGHTING
Datalink's FIRELINK allows Helicopter Pilots to see all other Helicopters and fixed wing aircraft on shared Tablet Screens with audible alerts where aircraft are getting too close.
...
UAVs
A wide range of drones with IR or conventional cameras can be linked to WebGate screens. Normally achieved by attaching a compact 4G-LTE Router to the ground controller. Contact Datalink engineering for support.

ABOUT
Datalink International and its core team have been working together for over 20 years. In that time Datalink has created specialized solutions for a wide range of clients around the globe. The Royal New Zealand Air Force equipped its P3 Orion long range patrol aircraft with Datalink i50 MobiHubs and were later involved in the search for MH370 a Boeing 777.

The Swedish Space Agency uses the Datalink i50 MobiHub to control high altitude scientific balloons rising to altitudes over 100,000 ft.
