HaLowNet - A WiFi HaLow network-based information system for the provision of multi-sided applications for medical emergency scenarios

In this paper, we present the current state of HaLowNet, a WiFi HaLow network-based information system for the provision of multi-sided applications. HaLowNet is developed for medical emergency scenarios where required IT infrastructure is insufficiently available, which are introduced first. After-wards, we present the technical network structure of HaLowNet, which is conceptualized as a 4-tier layer model. Furthermore, the leader-follower approach used to synchronize the network nodes of HaLowNet is described. In complement, the deployment of scenario-specific applications by HaLowNet is described. In addition, the scenario-specific multi-sided application MANVnet for coordination, documentation, and surveillance of rescue forces in mass casualty incidents. is presented.
