The U.S. Border Patrol conducts a large number of #humanitarianaid and #searchandrescue missions within the border region. The Last Mile recently sat down with former U.S. Border Patrol Chief, Carla Provost, to learn more about these missions and why communications are vital to the health and safety of #lawenforcement personnel.

goTenna is excited to share that it has teamed up with Urban Sky to revolutionize wildfire monitoring. Together, we will develop an innovative wildfire monitoring system, which has received a new multi-year, multi-million-dollar grant from NASA's Science Mission Directorate. This groundbreaking collaboration includes NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Chapman University, University of Colorado Boulder-CIRES, and the United States Air Force Wildland Fire Branch. goTenna’s mesh network will serve as a data transport layer for a cutting-edge wildfire monitoring system featuring rapid deployment and near real-time communication for frontline firefighters. https://lnkd.in/eWfn36Yh #WildlandFirefighting #Firefighting #FireFighter #ForestFires #NASA #UrbanSky #FireSafety #Innovation #StartUps #Startup

It’s no longer science fiction to be able to track the location of every drone above an entire city – and the person controlling it. Today, ONE9, in partnership with Hidden Level Inc., and the Ottawa International Airport Authority / Administration de l'aéroport international d'Ottawa hosted a #UASdetection and tracking technology showcase at ONE9 Capability Labs in Ottawa. This demonstration brought together #nationalsecurity experts and government end-users to see firsthand the advanced airspace monitoring capabilities developed by Hidden Level Inc. and to learn more about how this technology can guard our airspace in a city like #Ottawa. Additionally, ONE9 Special Mission Fund I portfolio company goTenna Pro joined us today to further demonstrate how #nationalsecurity technologies like their #ProX2 radio and #EdgeRelay can work hand-in-hand with airspace monitoring systems to assist #Lawenforcement personnel. ONE9 would like to extend our gratitude to all who attended and participated in today’s discussion. We look forward to hosting you at future ONE9 Capability Showcase events. www.ONE9.ca #Innovationisaspecialoperation #ONE9 #Airspacemonitoring Glenn Cowan Daniel Weinand Arjun Grewal Ani Tourian Michael Smith Jeremy Constantineau Brad Garber Jeffrey Cole Kevin May Ari Schuler Luke Stewart Shawn Hurt
