ASAPNet Area with Firestations

About ASAPNet

The Area Situational Awareness for Public Safety Network (ASAPNet) is a public/private partnership-based extension of the University of California San Diego's HPWREN infrastructure project for the benefit of public safety communities, especially firefighters in San Diego County in their function as first responders. This activity seeks to build out wireless Internet data communications capabilities to firefighter assets, while also utilizing environment-observing cameras and other sensors.


Project partners include the County of San Diego, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the United States Forest Service (USFS), San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), The University of California San Diego (UCSD), and San Diego State University (SDSU).
