Mobile communications are useful

But it depends on infrastructure that can be damaged …

… overwhelmed

… or absent

So we assumed zero infrastructure
![Page 8: Paul Gardner - Presentation at Emerging Communications Conference & Awards (eComm 2011)](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54647b10af7959e6478b54d4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
… and came up with this; just the phones talking to each other,
relaying calls, and resolving numbers for each other; a cellular commons.

Making the best of what’s available
![Page 11: Paul Gardner - Presentation at Emerging Communications Conference & Awards (eComm 2011)](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54647b10af7959e6478b54d4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Serval versus Cellular Infrastructure
Think Skype, but uses your existing phone number, and doesn’t need the internet
+ Completely open and open-source; free for all
+ Can be carried and activated in seconds by those who need it when it is needed
+ Can be retro-installated during an emergency
+ Does not need cooperation from carriers
+ Does not need cooperation from local regulators*
+ Distributed nature makes network resilient
– Shorter range (for now) compared with cellular
– Shorter battery life (for now) compared with cellular

Some Potential Use Cases
- Field-hospital intercom/paging/local communications
- Field communications, monitoring, logistics support
- Situation awareness gathering, from the local populace as well
- Enabling local populace/volunteers/staff to be assured of the safety of family, and so freed emotionally and physically to help others.
- Reduce load and demand on existing/remaining communications infrastructure.
