Abstract

Wireless communications have achieved a great attention during the last decades due to the easy implementation, possibility of delivering multimedia services to rural communities, suitability for public safety and emergency communications. In particular, a wireless network designed for an emergency scenario has to be capable of managing all the phases of an emergency situation, from the prevention to the post-emergency management. This paper discusses the main features of a wireless network aiming to interconnect several heterogeneous systems and providing multimedia access to groups of people by introducing the main outcome of the In.Sy.Eme. (Integrated System for Emergency) project. Particular attention will be devoted to the approach of the project, aiming to consider a communication infrastructure strictly connected with an information processing side.
