Developing Infrastructure Support
Ambulance service provider American Medical
Response (AMR) recently unveiled a
technologically advanced vehicle that includes,
among other features, an In Motion Technology
system that pairs a cellular Internet backhaul
connection with the Wi-Fi-driven ability to take
information beyond the vehicle..
..In Motion faces competition both from
mid-sized vendors like Verilink and from bigger
players such as Cisco, which offers a mobile
access router for vehicle deployment..

Why Mobile Devices?

• There are currently 1.5B mobile devices/sensors
  in the world today. This number is expected to
  reach 3.0B by 2010
• Sensors, mobile and fixed, will become ubiquitous
• Today cell service providers get constant signal
  strength readings from every cell phone in the
  world
• In the future every cell phone will be an RF
  reader
• RF tags will cost 0.10 each or less

How would VA be used on mobile devices?

• Possible Roles
• First responders making coordinated life and
  death decisions.
• Information Analysts in the field doing analysis
• Research Outcomes
• Move visual analytic functionality outward
• Matching geospatial location to information
• Rapid distributed collaborative work
• Use of VA in a mobile environment
• What role would visualization play?
• Are any of the current VA tools useful?
• What devices should be developed for?
