Inspiration

During emergencies, internet and cellular networks may become unavailable exactly when communication is most important. We wanted to build a system that could keep people connected without depending completely on traditional networks.

What we built

GhostGrid 2.0 is an emergency communication and sensing network designed to work when normal connectivity disappears. It uses a mesh of low-cost nodes to support SOS alerts, emergency messaging, survivor status, node monitoring, navigation, and alternate routing.

AI Integration

AI helps GhostGrid act as an intelligent emergency coordinator. It provides emergency assistance, prioritizes SOS situations, analyzes node health, predicts possible node failures, and helps optimize routes when parts of the network become unavailable.

How it works

When a node becomes unavailable, GhostGrid can detect the change and adapt the network by considering alternate routes. This allows communication to continue instead of depending on a single connection.

Challenges

One of our main challenges was combining emergency communication, network monitoring, routing, navigation, and AI features into a simple interface that can be understood quickly during an emergency.

What we learned

We learned how AI can be combined with resilient communication systems to make emergency networks more adaptive and useful when conventional connectivity is unavailable.
