Improving SAR ops using Wi-Fi and LoRa on UAV

Solutions for improving Search and Rescue operations (SAR) operations are receiving increasing attention. Transponder is one of the an open-source, lightweight and low-cost solution. It installed on top of a drone, conceived for the analysis of Wi-Fi beacons or probe requests in areas without network infrastructure. It relies on LoRa communications and uses a Complex Event Processor for the enhancing and enriching data analysis and for providing first-aid information. The use of Transponder in a realistic scenario is also presented.
