Kerlink and German Company VOMATEC Announce Collaboration On Digital
Emergency Management System for Smart Cities Deployed On-Scene, RescueWave(r)
Provides Digital Triage and Live Data To Help Medical Teams Manage Emergency
Situations and Save Lives

PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Bad Kreuznach, Germany - Nov. 9, 2021, 6:00
p.m. CET - Kerlink (AKLK - FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated
to the Internet of Things (IoT), and VOMATEC Innovations GmbH, a specialized
provider of system and software solutions for emergency services, today
announced their collaboration on the integration of the digital MCI-management
system RescueWave into LoRaWAN(r)- based smart-city networks.

RescueWave, a world's-first in the domain of digital-management systems for
multiple-casualty incidents (MCI), takes traditional command-and-control
processes to the next level with a digital triage system and on- scene
emergency management software.

Deployed on-scene by members of the responder teams, the system includes novel
electronic triage tags, called Rescue.Nodes, that are small, intelligent IoT
devices used for each casualty and replacing the traditional paper-based
patient tags. Until now, those tags have been filled out by hand and
information is collected manually. With RescueWave, the Rescue.Nodes
automatically transmit encrypted registration and triage information about
casualties and their status to the RescueWave mission-control software via LoRa
long-range communication. The infrastructure is provided by a mobile Kerlink
LoRaWAN network, featuring Wirnet(r) iStation gateways, mounted on command
vehicles.

All the information is forwarded to RescueWave servers, where the
mission-control software provides automated live statistics, electronic patient
records, resource management and dispatch features, so that incident command
can take informed decisions.

VOMATEC and Kerlink's cooperation aims to take the integration a step further,
investigating how smart-city LoRaWAN networks can facilitate system deployment,
provide a wide-area coverage and enable additional services, e.g. through
interfaces to control-rooms, hospitals and trauma centers involved in the
incident management.

"VOMATEC'S RescueWave solution is a highly precise, easy-to-deploy solution
that enables responders and their back-up staff to manage the chaos that often
surrounds MCI events, thus speeding up rescue processes through
digitalization," said Etienne Ghidossi, key account manager at Kerlink. "In
these dangerous and tragic emergency situations, Kerlink's products are the
clear choice because their proven reliability is a key factor in saving lives.
This innovative system is a vital component in the growing smart-health
vertical."

"RescueWave provides rapid and effective support in these complex situations
from the start," said Dr. Stephan Heuer, managing director at VOMATEC and
co-inventor of RescueWave. "The digital system solution is designed to serve as
a central tool for the first responders, as well as for the incident
commanders, from triage in the chaos phase to patient care and transport
organization. Combined with Kerlink's robust and versatile gateways, RescueWave
brings a higher level of efficiency and control in MCI events, which can help
save lives."

Backed by extensive research and field-tested with rescue workers, RescueWave
provides emergency services and government officials with a
smart-health-and-safety system that makes use of state-of-the-art technology.
It enables smart cities to respond to their goals to adopt innovative digital
technologies that help them use resources sustainably, make rescue services
more efficient and, above all, save lives faster in emergency situations.
