Abstract

A method and system for deploying drones to provide residents of an area impacted by a disaster with emergency communication services. The system and method are configured to automatically generate custom drone deployment configurations that can be used to form an ad-hoc network in the region using one or more communication drones. After an outage occurs, where the system determines the region can be best served using a mesh network, a party of drones can be assigned to travel to different sites and interconnect. The resultant mesh network can be used to extend communications from operational base stations/towers to the areas experiencing an outage.
