Swarms of drones usually operate under the coverage of GNSS* and LTE/ Wi-Fi infrastructures. Green Communications innovates and creates fully autonomous swarms that can operate without infrastructure and in GNSS denied environment. Thus, using the Green PI technology combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Green Communications’ solution of swarm of autonomous drones was scored as a high-quality project and was awarded a Seal of Excellence by the European Commission.

The call for tenders of the fire department of Ille-et-Villaine (SDIS 35) for a stand-alone Wi-Fi mesh network is attributed to Green Communications.

In a context of natural or man-made disaster, rescue forces need connectivity to make use of the SINUS application for the counting and identification of victims. Green Communications proposes a rapid deployable Wi-Fi infrastructure composed of a set of weatherproof Wi-Fi mesh nodes featuring 19 hours of battery life based on its Green PI low power and lightweight mesh devices.

Green Communications releases a stand-alone mobile Mesh network for the rapid set up of an Internet infrastructure with autonomous applications and services.

The system comprises:

• A set of handheld Mesh routers (YOI)
• Batteries of 20h autonomy and more
• A YOI-4G/LTE to connect Green PI to other networks
• Embedded applications (Voice and video over IP, chat, file storage, web, etc.) for autonomous work.

Within minutes, one can extend the coverage of a private LTE or a mobile 4G network inside buildings, tunnels and to remote areas by simply turning ON the YOI devices. This sets a Green PI network up providing both local-based services and global Internet access through the YOI-4G/LTE gateway.

Green Communications delivers customized Green PI Mobile Networks with additional YOI, gateways, battery life and services upon request.

Green Communications releases the YOI-4G/LTE, a new low power Mesh router equipped with a 4G modem to connect a Green PI network to Internet.

Green PI is a battery power based networking solution to create a mobile Internet infrastructure.  The new YOI-4G/LTE provides Green PI with an Internet access that propagates through the network to extend the 4G/LTE coverage inside tunnels, buildings or for temporary events.

As part of an IoT (Internet of Things) project, Engie chooses Green PI, an easy to deploy while affordable Internet infrastructure, to bring wireless Internet and to connect sensors in rural areas.

The experiment took place in a village of north-central France. Green PI’s low power routers (YOI) were installed on house’s facades to extend the Internet coverage of the town hall to the main street. YOI connected automatically with each other using an advanced wireless Device-to-Device technology removing expensive network cabling. Green PI’s patented routing software then ensured the transfer of videos, calls, and data over multiple hops (up to 30!). Citizens could connect to Internet using Wi-Fi and 3G and walk down the street without being disconnected thanks to Green PI’s handoff. Engie also used Green PI infrastructure as backhaul for its energy management sensor network.

Thanks to its cable free and self-configuring properties, Green PI reduces up to 10 times the cost of wireless Internet infrastructure, facilitating the digitalization of rural areas as well as emerging countries and of any other white spots such as trains, planes, ships, etc.
