A proposal for the mission-critical mobile communication infrastructure of the future

EOT Solved by…English

In the future, many of the devices we use today will require a secondary connection as a backup channel or needed for mission-critical applications. This may be necessary, for example, if the network infrastructure is down due to outages, software failures, or a lack of 5G or internet connectivity. The mobile phone is a good example of an increasingly critical device that may need a secondary communication channel when 5G or other internet access is unavailable.
In emergency situations—such as when base stations are offline—or simply when one is in a basement in a city center where phones often don't work today, a secondary long-range connection directly between a group of phones could be a viable solution in the future. The latest generation of LoRa/FLRC technology is one potential option for these types of applications.
