Project DISARM

Post-Disaster Situation Analysis and Resource Management using Delay-Tolerant Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks (DISARM): After working in the project DISARM as student researchers, the co-founders decided on making the research as a product after envisioning the necessity of the platform in the real world. The opportunity to help the common people in a long term is spurring them on.
