  • Interaction with the network aimed to calling for rescue, takes place via network communication devices placed on board the hardware. Said devices use LTE connectivity by exploiting the cellular network, thus being able to interface using the classic tools of the mobile network (SMS, voice call).
  • Interfacing may also take place through other tools, such as the TCP/IP and MQTT protocols, which allow communication with a remote server, or more generally with the internet.
