A European consortium headed by ‘Appear’ has won the prestigious ‘Eurostars’ award for the deployment of ‘context-aware’ mobile services for emergency services and security personnel. By using context aware, mobiles can receive alerts, connect to surveillance cameras, environmental sensors which help give complete awareness to intrusion. This new programme helps replace the old method of walkie talkies, which was flawed as security personnel wouldn’t always realise the situation and connection may also sometimes be a problem. It can also help locate colleagues and access live video feeds, a very effective device in capturing criminal on goings.
