Abstract

In order to keep telecommunication infrastructure in the stricken area after a heavy earthquake, wireless ad-hoc mesh networks with satellite communication functions are studied as a survivability application. By using new control software for mesh network, the overall throughput of “KIZUNA” (WINDS) demonstration system was kept at around 25 Mbps.

▶ NICT began evaluating the utility of the WINDS satellite for disaster rescue. ▶ Wireless mesh networks with the WINDS satellite are studied as a survivability application. ▶ The stricken area and disaster headquarters can be connected through the WINDS mesh network. ▶ The overall throughput of “KIZUNA” (WINDS) demonstration system was kept at around 25 Mbps.
