Episode 162: Breaking Down Z-Axis Tracking During Phase 4 of the FRST Challenge with Jason Pennington
Part 11 of our FRST Challenge - Phase 4 Mini Series:
Hello Smart Firefighting Community!
Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!
In this episode:
- How to create solutions that are affordable, scalable, flexible, and usable
- What are the most important factors when implementing technology into public safety?
- What are the end goal aspirations for the FRST Challenge?
Hosted at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, the FRST Challenge is a competition focused on producing marketable prototypes that demonstrate indoor localization tracking and tracking of first responders within 1-meter accuracy without any pre-deployed infrastructure. The challenge is administered by the Indiana University Crisis Technologies Innovation Lab and funded by the NIST Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) division.
Hear all about it from Jason Pennington, the Executive Director at Indiana IoT Lab.
The IoT Lab brings together forward thinkers, academia, and established organizations to support the Hoosier state's core competencies - make things, move things, and grow things.
With their partners and members, the lab supports and pursues connected technology deployment, projects of interest, and development initiatives in the IoT space.
