Concept

 Disaster communication systems for relief purposes

 The communication needs of disaster management
 Tactical communications (among relief workers on
disaster site with province & state administrations )
 Strategic communications (among affected area with
country and the outside world)
International Convention

 Tampere Convention, Finland, 1998

Disaster communications matters for minimizing
regulatory barriers, customs clearance procedures,
and provision of telecommunications assistance
 Resolution No. 7 WTDC-94, Buenos Aires, 1994
Urges all administrations to remove national
regulatory barriers in order to allow the unhindered
use of telecommunications in disaster mitigation and
relief.
 The 54th session of the United Nations General
Assembly 1999, called in its resolution 54/233 for
the ratification and implementation of the Tampered
Convention
Type of Telecommunications

 IP Base Application:
– Data : internet, intranet, web application, e-mail
– VoIP
– Satellite Phone System
 Wireless Telecommunication:
– Radio
– Local GSM system
Desired Features

 Portable by airlift & MPV

 Fast deployable
 Proven reliability
 Wide area coverage
 Can be operated only by 3 operators
Technology Approach

 Outbound System:
– VSAT System (incl ODU and indoor unit)
– Satellite Phone
– VoIP
 Local Distribution System:
– Local GSM 900 MHz System
– Radio Repeater for Land Mobile Radio
– WiFi and WiMAX System
 Web-base application for disaster handling
management
Supporting Equipment

 Mobile Tower
 4 x 4 Multi Purpose Vehicle
 Power Generator 2 KVA
 Tool Kits
 Personal Survival Kits

VSAT System

 Portable VSAT System with

up to 1 mbps bandwidth to
internet
(1.2 – 2.4 meters)
 Using DVB-RCS technology
 Emergency Base
Partnership Contract with
Network Access Provider to
be able allocate 1 mbps
bandwidth when needed
Phone (Voice) System

 Two alternatives for telephone gateway:

– VoIP gateway at location to VoIP gateway at other
place, and terminated to fix phone line
– VoIP gateway at location, peered with
International VoIP Gateway
 For on location phone distribution
– VoIP client box + regular phone or IP Phone
connected with wireless system
– Local GSM 900 MHz
Local GSM Network

 Concept:
– All people have their own GSM Phone
– Providing a new GSM SIM Card, we can re-
connected all GSM Phone with new local number,
where the GSM Operator coverage is not
available
– All GSM Phone can call each other with free cost
– One GSM 900 BTS can cover up to 16 km area
Local GSM Network

 Equipment:
– 1 GSM 900 BTS
– 1 omnidirectional antenna or 4 sectoral antenna
– 100 GSM 900 SIM Card
– SIMcard R/W Equipment System
Land Mobile Radio

 Functioning as UHF/VHR Radio repeater

 HT (handy talky) as distribution point
WiFi & WiMAX System

 WiFi
– 2 Access Point, 4 sectoral antenna
– 10 Watt 2,4 GHz booster
– Antenna Cable (LMR)
– 20 units 80211.b Client
– 10 Laptop (wireless ready)
WiFi & WiMAX System

 WiMAX
– 1 Access Point with omni-directional antenna
– Antenna Cable (LMR)
– 10 units WiMax Client
Other Network Equipment

 10 units 16 port 10/100 Switch

 10 Notebook
– Windows 2000/XP & MS Office installed
– WiFi ready, USB, CD-Writer, Security Cable
 2 box ethernet cable Cat-5 + RJ45 connector
 1 Linux server (web, database, dns)
 1 Router + Bandwidth Manager
 1 Laser Printer + print server + 5 rims A4 paper + 1
extra toner

 1 unit Multi Card Reader
 10 unit USB Flash Memory 512 MB
Power System

 Min 2 KVA capacity

 Extra gas for 48 hour operations
 100 meters outdoor type power cable
 Fuse
Mobile Tower System

 Easy to displace with MPV and airlift

Note: Max cargo dimmention for Hercules 130 series is :
10.25 ft / 3.12 m (width) and 9 ft / 2.74 m (height)
 Easy to deploy, can be attach on the MPV
and can be self support without MPV
 Min. 24 meters high (80 feet)
Multi Purpose Vehicle

 3 seats for EMTU Operator

 4 x 4 is a must

Personal Survival Kits

 Tents and mattress

 Medical Kit
 Boots, Mask, Industrial Latex Gloves
 Foods and water for 3 days
Further Consideration

 Placement and number of units

 Needs of stand-by operators
 Coordination with Airforce to mobilize the unit
when needed
 Coordination satellite provider for bandwidth
 Coordination with VoIP Operator or Phone
Operator for telephone termination
