Global First Responders: FirstNet, ESN, Elsight and the Covid19 Implications on IoT
Date July 16, 2020
Time 11am ET
Event Detail
First responders often face challenges communicating, collaborating and managing a coordinated response in the field. The emergence of COVID-19 has underscored the importance of building a full solution ecosystem that strengthens the resilience to pandemics.
Listen to experts from FirstNet, Built with AT&T and the UK’s Emergency Services Network discuss their perspectives and real-world experiences on well-designed, mission-critical solutions, including the importance of the underlying advanced technical features driving them and the case for strict certification requirements and how to navigate these processes.
Elsight COO Yoav Amitai will also be joining to show how their Halo platform, powered by Elsight technology, enables medical teams on the move or on the ground to communicate with command centers in real time. Elsight’s unique bonding technology is based on existing cellular network infrastructure. It offers the transmission of live video, audio and critical medical data to command centers, where doctors can evaluate and examine patients remotely.
