A research team from the CTTC, the UOC and the University of Luxembourg proposes a communications system enabling emergency services in difficult scenarios.
The new solution is based on the CubeSat nanosatellite design standard and the long-range (LoRa) radio technology, allowing for a reliable emergency communications network that can be deployed in a short time. The hot air balloon is used to launch the nanosatellite over the disaster area or deployment zone.
