IU RedLab

Congratulations to Ascent for their success in the CIVX TAK/ATAK for Smart Cities Challenge!

??This past Saturday, IU RedLab successfully deployed #TAK (Team Awareness Kit – TAK.gov) and advanced 3D tracking and geolocation technology at the sold-out Indiana University Bloomington game where the Hoosiers (10-0!!!) faced off against the University of Michigan. This state-of-the-art technology elevated situational awareness and strengthened public safety for on-duty EMT's and first responders. ??We were proud to work alongside Indiana University Health LifeLine EMS and IU’s student-led IC-EMS IU, ensuring exceptional emergency response and support throughout the game. ???This deployment was made possible through our ongoing collaborations with Indiana University Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University Bloomington Emergency Management, Indianapolis Fire Department, Ascent Integrated Technologies, Project iSite, IU Athletics, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and T-Mobile. Together, we set a new benchmark for emergency response and operational effectiveness within Big Ten athletics. ??A special thanks to Andreas "AJ" Johansson and Cory Foy for the expertise and insights, Adhitya B. for the amazing collaboration, and to our amazing students for embracing this hands-on experience and driving innovative public safety solutions! Go Hoosiers!!!?????? #IU #Indiana #GoHoosiers #GoIU #Hoosiers #TAK #ATAK #CivTAK #3DTracking #SituationalAwareness #IUFootball #PublicSafety #IUHealthLifeLine #BigTen

IU RedLab is proud to support Ezassi, Ensemble Consultancy, and NIST Communications Technology Laboratory in the First Responder UAS Wireless Data Gatherer Challenge (UAS 6.0)!

Since the conclusion of our First Responder Smart Tracking Challenge, the momentum for innovation in emergency response continues to surge. As we move from Phase 5 designs to commercializing real-world solutions, the landscape of crisis response is set for transformation. The road ahead is filled with opportunities for collaboration and innovation. Your expertise, whether in tech development, emergency services, or strategic partnerships, can help accelerate these innovations from concept to deployment. Keep an eye out for ways to get involved. Together, we're not just imagining a new future for crisis response; we're actively building it. https://lnkd.in/eJYG4NZ4 #EmergencyResponse #FRSTChallenge #PublicSafetyTechnology #CrisisManagement #SmartTracking #TechForGood #InnovationInAction #Collaboration #FirstResponderTech #DigitalTransformation National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Indiana University Bloomington

In emergency response scenarios, every second counts, and the ability to pinpoint a first responder's precise location within building structures can be a matter of life and death. Now, we’re pushing 3D tracking tech forward.?? ? NIST and Indiana University’s First Responder Smart Tracking Challenge has crowned technology champions. With $5 million in prizes on the line, six teams led the charge in harnessing biometric monitoring and cutting-edge sensors to identify where first responder were located within buildings.??? ?
