lutions is the correctional facility setting.
In some prisons, the smuggling of cell
phones is an issue but they’ve found a way
around it by setting up a controlled cellular
environment. Service would only be avail-
able on authorized phones and “everyone
else is denied”.
Earlier this year, Star Solutions launched
a new concept for search and rescue that
combines the latest in cellular and drone
technology. Their groundbreaking Cellular
network On Drone (COD) helps first re-
sponders locate and communicate with
people who are lost or in distress by pro-
gramming the COD to fly to a specific area
and initiating a search. The COD is able
to detect phones and their locations, and
then place calls or send text messages to
the phones, determining if help is need-
ed. The technology helps to reduce the
time, resources and costs associated with
search and rescue missions.
“We’re really excited about the technology that we have and also where cellular
continues to grow and expand.”
