Abstract

A system that facilitates ad-hoc communications of first responder (FR) wireless communications devices at an emergency location. The system includes FR devices that need to communicate with an emergency command center. Due to location at the event scene, the first FR device is incapable of direct wireless communications with a remote system. Accordingly, a wireless communications pathway facilitates the communications between the first FR device and the remote system. The wireless communications pathway comprises at least one of a PAN, a local IP network and a wireless macro network. The wireless communications pathway authenticates both the first FR device and the user via parameter data transmitted from the first FR device and facilitates communications using a device association protocol. Once a wireless communications pathway is established between the first FR device and the remote system, communications are then relayed from the first FR device to the remote system.
