"When Islamic extremists bombed London subway stations on July 17, 2005, emergency teams from several agencies responded – police, ambulance, fire, counter-terrorism. It was a generally efficient response that saved many lives, but one glitch was mentioned in a recent government report on the incident: the first responder groups sometimes had difficulty talking to each other because they all used different emergency communications systems. A year to the day after the London attacks, Anvil Technologies, a Canadian wireless systems integrator, and Primetech, a U.K. satellite services company, staged a real-world demonstration of Anvil’s solution to that problem, its Wi-Fi-based RECoN system. The scene of the demo was the Aldwych subway station in central London – not one of those hit by the bombers, but typical of the city’s aging underground system."
