Incendia

Incendia is building a decentralized, secure communication platform for first responders and defence organizations. The system rests on autonomous communication nodes, data visualization and risk detection assisted by artificial intelligence. The Canadian Armed Forces and civil security units make up the target market.

Emergency teams and defence units coordinate their operations by radio and cellular networks. These links rely on central infrastructure, and an incident that hits that infrastructure also hits coordination.

The product

The team is designing communication nodes that work autonomously, a visualization of the data exchanged, and risk detection assisted by artificial intelligence. The organization that deploys the system stays in charge of its operation; the platform keeps the link between its units.

What it changes in practice

• Communication holds in hostile environments, because each node works autonomously.
• Information from the field can be read in a single view, because the platform visualizes it as the operation unfolds.
• Risks are flagged during the operation, because detection is assisted by artificial intelligence.
