The System and Its Background

In the context of the growing threat of war and increased sabotage and terrorist activity, it has become necessary to think about civil defence in not only reactive, but above all proactive categories. The traditional approach to crisis management, focused on the support of the crisis management center and specialized services, may be insufficient in the face of threats that require a rapid and decentralized response.

CommunityGuard responds to these new challenges by enabling each member of the community not only to have access to key information, but also to provide tools for personal and collective response, helping themselves and the people around them. The system focuses on the local community as the first line of defense and assistance – preparing its members to act independently through training, providing appropriate equipment and integration with modern technologies that enable effective communication and coordination of activities.

As part of CommunityGuard, residents participate in ongoing programs to develop and maintain competencies; They learn how to use the available tools and technologies to monitor their immediate environment, how to respond to a variety of crisis scenarios, and how to cooperate both among themselves and with specialist services. The training includes not only the technical operation of the equipment, but also the development of communication and management skills, which are crucial in crisis situations. CommunityGuard is designed to provide critical mass in the local community:

available digital technology
and people with competences that allow them to be used effectively in a crisis situation.

Thanks to this, the protected group will be able to survive threats even if it cannot count on external help in the long term.

CommunityGuard features

1. Ensure reliable connectivity

A key aspect of modern civil defence systems is the reliability of communications. At CommunityGuard, we understand that there are no systems that are completely immune to destruction or diversion, which is why we place emphasis on creating redundant solutions. Redundancy in communication systems allows you to maintain continuity of communication even in the most extreme conditions.

CommunityGuard uses a range of modern communication technologies to ensure continuity of connectivity even when traditional systems fail. Our system integrates both voice and data transmission, which is essential for effective communication in crisis conditions:

Traditional Communication Systems, such as fibre optic access networks and mobile telephony, can be secured by redundancy, which significantly increases their resilience in crisis situations. Redundancy in fibre optic and cellular networks involves creating redundant data and signal transmission paths, allowing operation to continue even if one of the main lines fails. Providing alternative routes for data and phone calls allows traffic to be immediately switched to efficient network segments, minimizing service interruptions:

Satellite Connectivity: Allows you to communicate even when local terrestrial networks are down or disrupted. It is independent of local infrastructure, which makes it invaluable in the event of major terrain damage or sabotage of local networks by hostile actions.
Private 5G SA (Standalone) networks: Provide fast and secure data transfer with high bandwidth, which is crucial for real-time information management and emergency coordination. The ability to establish a local, controlled 5G network increases resilience to external interference, surveillance, and provides priority network access for emergency services and crisis managers.
Private WiFi Networks: These act as local access networks, allowing multiple users to quickly connect to the network. In the event of a failure of the main Internet lines, local WiFi networks can serve as Internet access points for first responders and residents, supporting communication and access to information.
DMR Digital Communication Systems are used by both emergency services and civilian users. They are not limited to just voice communication; They also allow you to transfer data. DMR systems can be connected to the internet and the public telephone network, providing alternative communication paths in the event of disruption to the main channels. In addition, DMR ensures that transmissions are encrypted, which is crucial for protecting information from unauthorized access.

Threats to Public Communications: In crisis situations, such as wars or terrorist acts, public communications networks are particularly vulnerable to deliberate disruption, destruction, or eavesdropping. At CommunityGuard, we prepare local communities for such eventualities by providing technology and training that enables self-restoration and maintenance of connectivity.

Each of these technologies can be selected and integrated into the CommunityGuard system to ensure that residents and services can effectively respond to a variety of threat scenarios. Not only do they enable the continuous transmission of critical information, but they also build trust and a sense of security among residents, who know they have the tools they need to protect themselves and their community.
