Maintaining communication capabilities during a disaster scenario is crucial and can often be the primary determining factor between life and death for many people. Public Safety Networks (PSNs) are networks established by the authorities to either prepare the population for an eminent catastrophe, or as support during the crisis and normalization phases. The requirements for these mission critical networks are completely different to those of regular networks and may change radically depending on the nature of the disaster faced, making PSNs a challenging technology. This book will give the readers a broad view of the field of PSNs, first discussing the benefits of PSNs in modern day society, after which the authors approach the main challenges related to the establishment and maintenance of these networks before finally presenting the latest advancements in the field and future perspectives.
Researchers, graduate students, industrialists interested in the development of public safety solutions or just generally anyone interested in the establishment and maintenance of PSNs would be greatly interested by this book.
