Current Activity
HumaniNet is currently
being organized as a not-for-profit organization with the sponsorship
of Consortium members. In 2003, HumaniNet will field test prototypes
of a low-cost, transportable system for joint-use data and voice
communications using satellite and wireless networks. Deployment
of this system will enable relief teams to access the Internet,
send and receive text messages and files, and share mission-related
and mission-critical information and applications.
