RoGO Communications, an Innosphere Client Company, founded to develop lifesaving technology for firefighters and first responders, has launched a new DropBlock 2.0 to track the location of firefighters and equipment. The new satellite communication DropBlocks are smaller in size and weight to be carried by wildland firefighters, often hiking into the wilderness in remote areas where cellular networks are typically not available. DropBlocks also share hyper-local weather information from portable weather stations, including wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity and other IoT sensor data. Immediate tactical coordination and lifesaving situational awareness is enabled by tracking the location of crews, equipment and resources including bulldozers, water tenders, fire engines, high-value structures, medical evacuation rescue and makeshift water resources. “Based on feedback from wildland firefighter field trials, the new DropBlocks’ reduced size and weight better enables immediate deployment to support the initial attack of a wildfire, the time of most dangerous risk to firefighters,” said RoGO Chief Executive Officer Rod G.
