“Humberside Police also used the system to find a group of foreign nationals, including a pregnant woman in labour, who were trapped inside a shipping container at a port. "The port had over 20,000 containers and we knew that we needed to get to them quickly," said the force's control room supervisor Paul Redshaw. The group were told to download the app and they were soon found.”
Can you get a GNSS and mobile phone signal inside an enclosed steel shipping container? If so, many PhD and post doctoral students will need to start looking for a new project. Last week on the Norfolk Coast, I couldn’t even get a signal inside my tent, but maybe I need to invest in some new cocoa tins. DaveP
