BGAN can get data from the stations to warning centres faster than existing methods and has the potential to save many lives. POL was the first group to develop BGAN for sea level applications some two years ago and has led development efforts since. An official press release from IOC which recognises POL's contribution. http://www.pol.ac.uk/home/news/2008-01agreement.html http://www.pol.ac.uk/home/news/2008-01agreement.html Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:17:39 GMT
