Areas of application
Robotic support for reaching an incident first, seeing inside buildings, finding people, assessing hazards and understanding access conditions.
Drone as first responder
Launch a drone from a rooftop dock when an emergency call comes in, so live video reaches dispatch before the first unit arrives. Carry the video and the remote pilot’s commands across the city, with several docks and drones on one network.
Operations inside buildings
Send drones into a closed building ahead of police or special units. The link carries video and control data through walls and rooms to the team outside, with no LTE or other infrastructure needed.
Search and rescue
Connect two camera drones and a search team on one mesh network. Each drone searches its own sector of woodland, hills or difficult terrain, sending aerial imagery back to the team and taking its commands. Add drones as the search area grows.
Wildfire assessment
Connect an observation drone with responders at the staging area and a crew closer to the fire. Bring imagery of smoke, access routes and the affected area to both, to support the team’s assessment of the incident.
Flood response
Connect a drone and an uncrewed boat assessing flooded roads, riverbanks and isolated buildings. Bring imagery from the air and from the water back to the operator, helping response teams understand access conditions and plan their activity around the affected area.
Remote hazard inspection
Link a camera-equipped ground robot and a drone with an operator positioned away from the inspection area. The robot looks inside damaged structures and confined passages while the drone views them from above, before personnel go in.
These are illustrative, simplified concepts of operations. A real setup depends on your platforms, environment and mission.
The challenge
A clear view matters when the situation is changing.
Response teams may arrive at unfamiliar terrain with limited access and disrupted infrastructure. Drones and ground robots can provide another view of the situation, but the usefulness of those platforms depends on the information reaching their operators.
The communication setup needs to fit the terrain, the available equipment and the task. During preparation and troubleshooting, teams need access to radio settings, device status and link information.
The solution
Connect the platforms supporting the response.
Hive’s communication modules support video and command data for unmanned systems. Build the communication setup around the drones, robots and operator stations your teams use, with a mesh-capable configuration suited to the application.
Use the web interface to configure radio settings and review device and link information. Plan housing, antenna placement and power connections around the equipment your teams will deploy.
Why Hive fits public safety applications
Video and control together
Carry the camera views operators need to see and the commands their robotic platforms need to receive.
Clear setup information
Review radio settings, device status and link information in one browser interface during equipment preparation.
Support for mixed platforms
Bring aerial, ground and waterborne robotic platforms into the communication plan for the response.
Fit for your equipment
Define the housing, antennas and power connections around the vehicles and equipment your teams will deploy.
Inquiries
Plan the connection before deployment
