Anny Network : Satellite based technologies for National and Regional dissemination of

1. Anny Network : • Satellite based technologies for National and Regional dissemination of • Early Warnings • Related critical data • Preparedness Contents WorldSpace Digital Technology WorldSpace , with the help of it s two existing geostationnary satellites AfriStar & AsiaStar broadcast a variety of digital contents : (Audio- Text, Imaging, Streaming Video) directly to transportable receivers in more than 130 countries (Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia). An efficient tool for administrations to reach citizens – Almost Anywhere - Independant from terrestrial infra- structures.

2. Multi-hazardapproach, Redundancy Robustness Sustainability THE NEED is for an alerting system which can cover all hazards and can be delivered by authorized agencies directly and instantaneously to those who respond to the emergency. Within Nation Issuance of warnings Delivering emergency and preparedness data down to village level. Authority to Authority: From National to Local Authority. Authority to citizen: Local Authorities disseminate Warnings to communities.

4. AN operates as a single point of entry for Regional and National Authorities. Authorities are able to record and deliver Audio/Warnings to designated receivers Web based Alert Platform allowing generation and broadcasting of Alerts and geo-referenced alerts.A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for Users authentication Encryption of messages. XML-based Alerts, allowing interoperability And Multi-lingual communication.

5. Anny NetworkWeb based platform to issue warnings and manage the Network To generate Alerts. To geo-reference the alerts- thanks to a built-in GIS (Geographic Information System). To visualize on maps the terminals current status.To give access to specific partners applications that would process incoming alerts/messages from the various sources, through hosting services.

6. The Multimedia Receiver: Linux-based terminal hosting dedicated applications for alerts and preparedness. The Radio Receiver: Specifically adressable to an individual or to a group, has the capability: To receive geo-referenced alerts,To control relays for switching on external devices (sirens, lights,..).To display summarized textual information about the alert,To automatically tune itself to an alert audio channel that would give instructions.To control sirens and flash lights Small (170x124x38mm)Silencer( without fan)Hard disk 40Gb The radio receiver with its mini-antenna • Includes a built-in GPS and an GPRS/GSM (optional)system for • - Validation • - Aknowledgement • Alert generation.The geo-referenced alert is analyzed upon reception. • The buzzer is activated • Details about the alerts are provided (associated instructions and possibly relevant audio/image files).

7. Audio: How it can be used Audio uplink to satellite Satellite Uplink Station Transmission to audio receivers Live/Recorded Individual Village Classroom Emergency Preparedness • Content: • Locally & regionally relevant-Culturally appropriate-Practical & solution oriented-Balance and accurate/ Non-political

8. Multimedia: How it can be used Internet-type downloads without an Internet connection Multimedia adapter converts receiver to modem for download of data from satellite to computer Uplink Station Internet Receiver + MMS Adaptor + computer

9. Audio Broadcasting for Emergency Relief

10. Cyclone Warning System for Fisherman out at Sea • Pilot Experiment in west coast of India • 80 boats fitted with WorldSpace reception - Encased in water proof enclosure - Pretuned to the assigned channel • Warning messages in MP3 format via Internet to the uplink site • Boats into the sea up to 200 miles • Valuable experience gained in designing the full system WorldSpace Reception on a Fishing Boat

11. Anny Network is not a substitute to existing solutions. It can be used as a unique Warning System or as a redundant Warning System linked to other solutions.

12. Existing coverage of more than 130 countries. • Reach well beyond traditional communication and broadcast networks. • Least dependence on terrestrial infrastructure. • Rapid roll-out of the system over wide areas. • Geo-referencing and selective addressability. • Easy to use web-interface for alert generation, updates and cancellation. • Built-in authentication and security features. • Low power consumption and possibility of Lufo or solar powering. • Display of the alert’s attributes like : Category, Severity, Urgency and Certainty. • USB interface to an external box for operating a relay for a warning signal. • Ease of deployment, operation and maintenance. • Expandability and Scalability.

13. With CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (e.g., Indian Meteorological Department) who can provide alerts • With NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (e.g., M.S. Swaminathan Foundation) who can provide information for communities’ preparedness • With STATE AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (e.g., Relief Commissioner in Chennai) who can coordinate activities post-disaster • With UN AGENCIES involved in Emergency communications, humanitarian affairs, preparedness and educational (e.g., ITU, WMO)
