Abstract

In this paper we introduce the Virtual Private Ad Hoc Networking platform as an integrated solution for emergency communication and applications. This platform creates a virtual logical self-organizing network on top of existing network technologies reducing complexity and facilitating immediate availability. The architecture and its features will be explained in detail and matched against the specific communication needs of emergency applications.
