Conference Scope
Wireless communications is a primary solution to delivering broadband services out of metropolitan areas, especially to rural communities, as well as to providing emergency communications in support of public safety services. Fast recovery of communications and dissemination of information in times of natural and man-made disasters are fundamental to save lives in situations such as floods and earthquakes. Communications in support to public safety agencies and authorities can increase security of the citizens, control accesses, and assist impaired people.
