1 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: On last week's episode, we discussed the new opportunities in 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: the field of virtual reality. We heard from Evelyn Morales, 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: the former head of VR at NASA, Jeff Marshall, the 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: founder of Ovation, a business built around VR based public 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: speaking training, and Daniel McIntyre a K. Danny Mack, the 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: director of Community Corrections for Pennsylvania, where he has developed 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: an innovative VR program to help inmates prior to release. 8 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Maybe it seems obvious, but business is changing, and much 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: of that change from digital transformation to workplace innovation is 10 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: driven by critical advancements in mobility. Thanks to support from 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Temobile for Business, We're here to explore how five G 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: could enable innovations in the life saving efforts of first responders, 13 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: and how new applications could change the way we're able 14 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: to anticipate and react to natural disasters and emergencies. Well, 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: it's not at all like a scene in a movie. 16 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: The first fire that I was in was a building 17 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: fire in Hollywood. You can always see the flames, and 18 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, they can always see each other. That's not 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: at all what it's like. Pretty much, you go into 20 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: a building and the smoke is down to the ground. 21 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: It's confusing. You can't even see the hand in front 22 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: of your face piece. That's Harold Schappelholman speaking. He's been 23 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: fighting fire since. It's very physical, right. I'm about six 24 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: ft three in height, and so you know. One of 25 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: things that's not intuitive is you've gotta get down as 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: low as you can to the ground and yet pull 27 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: charge hose lined into a building. They've got to fight 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: the fire, which means that you can't see it. It's exhilarating, 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: it's frightening. There's all these things that are happening around you. 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: At the same time, you've got to stay focused. One 31 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: of the most important elements of fighting of fire is 32 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: having the right tools. The old days, before we had hoods, 33 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean it would literally burn your ears, so you 34 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: would have if you looked at older firefighters had scarring 35 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: on their ears. But that was also your temperature gauge. 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: When it got too hot, then you realize you had 37 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: to get out. So today they're much more encapsulated, which 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: also creates a problem because when something goes wrong, it 39 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: goes wrong in a bigger way based upon how far 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: away you are from the opening and safety. In two 41 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: thousand and six, Harold Schappelholman became chief of the Menlo 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: Park Fight District in California. That leadership role gave him 43 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: a new sense of responsibility to actively seek out and 44 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: sometimes even create new tools to fight fire. Real things 45 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: happened to real people, and a lot of times they're 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: sad and unfortunate. But on the same token, you know, 47 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: we're there to do a job and to do it 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, try and make it better in 49 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: some way, even though we're a little bit late to 50 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: the party. Sometimes I feel obligated, as the leader of 51 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: the organization as well as someone who did this for many, 52 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: many years, to not only bring innovation to the fore 53 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: for the benefit of the community, but equally to bring 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: it for our personnel so that we make them much 55 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: more efficient, much more effective protect them in the community 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: at a much higher level. It's no secret that the 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: community's Harold Protects. Menlo Park, pala Alto Stanford are some 58 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest tech hubs in the country, areas not 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: just of affluence but also innovation. Facebook is based out 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: of Melo Park. Google, Apple, They're all down the street. 61 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: We're surrounded by really really smart, innovated people who either 62 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: work in our community or living it. I mean, I 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: don't know that every community has a Google car driving 64 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: around with the things spinning on the roof that's started here. 65 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: We're surrounded by it, we're immersed in it, but we're 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: also responding to it. Harold believes that advances in technology 67 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: can make communities safer by giving them more efficient tools 68 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: to detect and respond to all kinds of emergencies, and 69 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: that the advance is promised by five G, lower latency, 70 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: more sensors. Edge computing could radically improve the way we 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: respond to crises by enhancing communication, automating critical services, and 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: gathering real time data that could save lives. In this 73 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: episode will explore how emergency services are already benefiting from 74 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: new technologies and preparing for the five G future. And 75 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: we'll look at how one smart town is partnering with 76 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: businesses with the goal of improving quality of life for 77 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: citizens and responding better to natural disasters. I'm as Velosen 78 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: and this is This Time Tomorrow, a podcast about how 79 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: advances in connectivity could change the way we live. So 80 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: carry like these stories about how new technologies can play 81 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: a role in places we really think about them. Last 82 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: episode we're in out of space, and Harold was just 83 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: talking about the center of a fire. Yeah, you know. 84 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: They say necessity is the mother of invention, and trying 85 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: to make sure you don't float off into space or 86 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: get trapped in a burning building definitely makes you think 87 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: about building better products for the future. It's also the 88 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: second time in the series we've talked to somebody out 89 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: of Silicon Valley. In the first episode we spoke to 90 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: Andrea Goldsmith, who's both a wire as professor at Stanford 91 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: and the founder of a NASDACK listed public company. So 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: it's one of those places where business and technology come 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: together for innovations. And Chief Chappelhaman talked about using the 94 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: Menlo Park fire district to test out new commercial products 95 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: that can then be adopted more widely, and that pressure testing, 96 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: I think is important because the chief also warned that 97 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: innovation can sometimes be technically brilliant but practically stupid. Well, 98 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: I need to imagine a tech CEO actually fighting a wildfire. 99 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: They'd show up in one of those tech vests police police. 100 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: Let's say the name of venture capital for a moment. 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: But it is why it's so important that the design 102 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: phase is not done in a vacuum exactly. And later 103 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: in this episode, Chief Harold is going to talk all 104 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: about that and in particular how he thinks that the 105 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: data gathering and processing promise I five G could enable 106 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: new types of tools that will help his five fighters 107 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: be more effective and also safer. I read an interesting 108 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: statistic from McKenzie that globally, every second another one hundred 109 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: and twenty seven devices are connected to the Internet. That's 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: a lot of devices and potentially a lot of data 111 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: being gathered about us. And one of the people who 112 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: thinks a lot about all of this is Nicole ray Mundo. 113 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: She's the chief information officer of Carrie, North Carolina, and 114 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: she's very focused on partnering with companies to make carry 115 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: one of the most connected towns in America and oz 116 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, you want to listen to this segment if 117 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: you're like, what is a connected town anyway? Just about 118 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: to ask A hundred and seventy thousand that's our population. 119 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: We sit right outside of we searched Triangle Park, which 120 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: is home to lots of headquarters of technology and biotechnology companies. 121 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: So it makes our role here a little bit more 122 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: challenging to make sure that we're meeting the demands of 123 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: our citizens. That's Nicole Raimundo. I wasn't entirely sure what 124 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: it meant to be a chief information officer in local government, 125 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: so when I spoke with Nicole, I was struck by 126 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: how she balanced a pragmatic approach with a kind of 127 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: contagious optimism about the future. My role is really about 128 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: looking at our current solutions and bringing us into a 129 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: modern state, but also really preparing us for the future. 130 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: So that means understanding emerging technologies and how we can 131 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: leverage those across the town. The term smart city, which 132 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: has little to do with the intelligence of the population, 133 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: has long been talked about as a way to boost 134 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: efficiency and improve life for citizens. But it's another one 135 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: of those terms like artificial intelligence, that sounds really good 136 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: in a headline, and as a result, doesn't have a 137 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: clear definition. So when we talk about smart cities, it's 138 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: a term that I actually don't like. Um smart cities, 139 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: I think confers it cities weren't smart before, which I 140 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: think that we were, And I really think about it 141 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: as building a connected community utilizing technology and data analysis 142 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: not only to optimize city functions but grow economic development 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: while improving the quality of life for our citizens. One 144 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: thing is clear. To have a truly connected city, it 145 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: will likely involve the expansion of the Internet of things. 146 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: Things like vehicle to vehicle communication or vehicle to infrastructure communication. 147 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: For example, where the light tells your car it's about 148 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: to turn red, so you should slow down. These are 149 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: all a part of the Internet of Things, and IoT 150 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: is already underway with innovations like smart fridges, lights, and thermostats. 151 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: But with the greater connectivity that a five G network 152 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: may provide, the ways in which IoT can connect us 153 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: will vastly expand. So here and carry we started to 154 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: think about what is IoT me knowing that it was 155 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: emerging and going to come very quickly, and we looked 156 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: at leveraging our town Hall campus and we offered that 157 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: up as a testing ground for companies to come in 158 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: and test their technologies, help us understand how to utilize them, 159 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: how to extract the data make better decisions, and we've 160 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: learned a lot from that. Making decisions when it comes 161 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: to local government often means making decisions for the health 162 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: and safety of the community. Nicole took an innovative approach 163 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: to a complex problem by partnering with a tech startup 164 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: and utilizing their new product carries a very proactive community. 165 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: We had the opportunity to apply for a grant through 166 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: Bloomberg and we had learned of a company out of 167 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: m I T called Biobot Analytics, and they had a 168 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: product that you put into your wastewater and test for 169 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: opioid consumption. During the process, though, we really thought about 170 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: what's the best way to use this data. And while 171 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: the consumption data that we received today isn't quite real time, 172 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: it takes about a month, that can certainly change the 173 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: game in how we as a community think about how 174 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: we can address the situation. I absolutely think in real 175 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: time that the future is being able to connect these 176 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: sensors via a network and to a lab. I think 177 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: that's something that they're probably working on because they want 178 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: to see that data in real time just as much 179 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: as the communities do. Whenever we think of data gathering, 180 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: the next natural thought is about my data and my privacy. 181 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: So I asked Nicole how the town balanced the issue 182 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: of data for public use and personal privacy. So the 183 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: issue of privacy, so it's top of mind, right, I 184 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: think that's everyone's big concerned we can't tell which household 185 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: it actually tests about fifteen thousand households. We can't identify 186 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: a person's home or even a neighborhood. We have looked 187 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: at should we develop data privacy policies. That's something that 188 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: we will continue to test that. Nicole works closely with 189 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: researchers but also businesses to test products and get them 190 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: ready for market. And as chief Information Officer of Kerry, 191 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: Nicole's goal is to look at how the town operates holistically. 192 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: So I think often the first cities that did smart 193 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: technologies really did them in siloed ways. But really to 194 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: get the value of how these all work is to 195 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: actually figure out how to connect them all together. So 196 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: let me giving you an example of how we think 197 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: about leveraging IoT technology in the day of the life 198 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: of a citizen that's going to benefit them. So, for example, 199 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: we have a sensor that warns us of a potential flooding. 200 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: That sensor then triggers a work order for our utility 201 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: staff to investigate. They investigate it. That triggers another case 202 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: into our public work staff to respond close the road, 203 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: which then try gears both our three one one and 204 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: one where they're going to get updates, could be video 205 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: from a drone, right, which we can accurately respond to 206 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: citizen and media inquiries. As Nicole tells it, soon the 207 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: whole town starts working automatically to mitigate the spread of 208 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: potential flooding. Then this data right is also sent to 209 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: our intelligent traffic network that's going to adjust the timing 210 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: on nearby intersections and accommodate our traffic roots. It's also 211 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: going to send that same data out to ways, which 212 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: will redirect right private vehicles around the issue. Also gonna 213 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: get the data to our public safety, our cats system, 214 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: our transit system notifying police, fire bus units so everyone 215 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: can be diverted around this area. It can also send 216 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: the information out for public service announcement right, So, whether 217 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: that's text, messaging, social so Twitter, Facebook, notifying our community 218 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: to avoid the area and what's going on. Nicole explained 219 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: to me that what she us described was complete, which 220 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: begged the question, what does the future look like for 221 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: a town like Carry. The work that we're doing and 222 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: Carry is phenomenal, but we don't have walls around Carry. Right. 223 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: I live in a community, I drive to another community, 224 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm running around two different other municipalities, which I think 225 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: is fairly similar to everyone's lives. We're running from place 226 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: to place to place, tornadoes, hurricanes, they don't know town limits, 227 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: So that requires a lot of communication between a lot 228 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: of people, a lot of emergency services. And what does 229 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: that look like. That looks like the combination of information 230 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: for hundreds or even thousands of sensors and the network 231 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: fast enough to process that information and make decisions in 232 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: real time. And this is what makes Nicole excited about 233 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: the potential of five G with the ability that we'll 234 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: have with five G right, we'll be able to work 235 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: through those issues, especially the emergency services. If things were 236 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: to go down and there wasn't communication, we could spin 237 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: up drones with five G and very quickly be able 238 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: to get a network that we could then talk to 239 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: not only emergency services, which is the most important, but 240 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: also our citizens if they're in need of help. So 241 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: I really start to think about the value of five 242 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: G and what it can bring not to a community, 243 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: but really regions and then really across the country. Our jobs, 244 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: especially in city government right is to think about our 245 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: own community first, but as it grows, the value is 246 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: really beyond that because we don't all live work in 247 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: play in one area. Five G connectivity could also provide 248 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: an important enhancement to IoT by allowing the town's technology 249 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: to communicate directly with citizens compatible devices. So, for example, 250 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: we're building this beautiful new downtown park and we think 251 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: about leveraging IoT technology and regards to um environmental sensors. So, 252 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: in case you've never been to North Carolina in the summer, 253 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: it is very hot, So I think about, you know, 254 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: was there is there a way to look at that 255 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: censer and we can send messaging to the folks that 256 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: are in that park, right, So for example, you v 257 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: index hits ten reminder goes out via text messaging that says, hey, 258 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: we have these devices over at whatever locations that offer 259 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: some sort of sunblock solution, please make sure that you're 260 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: reapplying your sun block, as well as a reminder as 261 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: to where the water fountains are to make sure that 262 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: you're kept hydrated. So I think there's interesting ways to 263 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: think about the information that you're gathering in real time 264 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: and use it as enhanced services for your citizens. When 265 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: we come back, we returned to Chief Harold to talk 266 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: about some of the new firefighting technology he's testing that 267 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: will take advantage of next generation wireless connectivity. The future 268 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: with five G is coming today. T Mobile is leading 269 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: the five G charge with thirty billion dollars invested in 270 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: their network to deliver new capabilities. Improved connectivity and true 271 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: mobility provided by an advanced network from T Mobile for 272 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: Business could change the way we all live and work. 273 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: The five G era will take the best technologies available 274 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: today in the wireless space so that you can offer 275 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: new capabilities to your business customers.

With these new technologies opening the 278 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: doors for better ways to get the job done. Business 279 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: is changing. Learn more at t Mobile for Business dot com. So, Kara, 280 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: would you sign up for those some block alerts? Do 281 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: you see how pale I am? I know this is 282 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: a podcast who they can't see me, but I'm quite pale. 283 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: You know. It's funny because when Nicole brought this up, 284 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: I was like, Yes, I would absolutely want this alert. 285 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm kind of seduced by the convenience of it. Well, 286 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: we both live in New York City, which isn't always 287 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: the most convenient place in the world. So if you 288 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: were the c I O of NYC, what do you 289 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: do on day one? Two words? The subway? You really 290 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: are in New Yorker. One of the dilemmas I sometimes 291 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: face on the aforementioned subway is that the train can 292 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: arrive really, really crowded, and I know there's another train coming, 293 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's going to be any better. 294 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: So I've faced with that constant dilemma should I stay 295 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: or should I go now? So it might be cool 296 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: if you get alerts about helping you make better decisions 297 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: about which train to take. Yeah, you know, gathering data 298 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: for the sake of personal convenience or even to manage 299 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: a natural disaster could be extremely useful. But I would 300 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: want to be able to opt in, of course, And 301 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: there are questions of access to carry. North Carolina and 302 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: Menlo Park, California are both affluent areas. So as we're 303 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: building out new networks, and as we're still in the 304 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: building phase, we do have to make sure that we're 305 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: bringing best in class wires access to less affluent places. Yeah, 306 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: and that's something some of the wireless carriers are acknowledging 307 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: around the world. Next generation wireless is promising to play 308 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: a role in emergency services even beyond firefighting. You know, 309 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: imagine being able to stream ambulance activity to a doctor 310 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: before the patient arrives at the hospital. Imagine the life 311 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: saving potential of saving a few extra minutes using telemedicine. 312 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: And emergency services are Chief Chappel Hammond's bread and butter. 313 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: He's been working in the fire department for almost four decades, 314 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: and in that time he's not only been fighting fires, 315 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: but also responding to events like nine eleven and the 316 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City bombing. So when he thinks about building technology 317 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: for a better future of disaster response, he has a 318 00:18:53,760 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: unique and broad perspective. Being able to help people was 319 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: where I started. I like working, I like being outside, 320 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, I liked every aspect of being physical and 321 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: making a difference that we're able to do in the 322 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: fire service. As to fire Chief Harold not only has 323 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: responsibilities to the local community, but also to the firefighters. 324 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: The of disease and modern building techniques and materials sometimes 325 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: make that more difficult. It's not the old simple, you 326 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: know wood building anymore. That's burning. I mean these structures 327 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: that has contents and or consumable components. It's a much 328 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: more toxic environment for our firefighters. We're exposing these folks 329 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: not just to the stresses the physical and the mental 330 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: as well, but equally. We have a huge seen a 331 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: huge change in the amount of cancer related events that 332 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: we're being exposed to because the changes today and the 333 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: way things are made. There's a lot more petroleum based 334 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: products and everything that's out there in the form of 335 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: plastics and the form of other types of treatments for products. 336 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: And it's a difficult job to do, and we've got 337 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: people who are willing to do it, which is amazing. 338 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: They charge head on into these things. For the chief, 339 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: new technology is not just about the wonder of innovation 340 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: or the bottom line, it's about saving lives. And this 341 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: means he always has an ear out for the products 342 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: that are pushing the frontiers of firefighting forward. I try 343 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: and work with people who innovate and create ahead of 344 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: time and allow them either through our burn training facility 345 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: or by working with us to refine their products so 346 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: they actually do work for us. I mean, we need tools, 347 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: not toys, and we don't have time to sit around 348 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: and play with things that don't work. One of the 349 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: biggest problems that technology could play a powerful role in 350 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: mitigating is the difficulty of navigating a fire. Crawling through 351 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: a burning building, you can't see anything. You're almost better 352 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: to close your eyes so that you know, you focus 353 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: on your other senses of what do I hear? So 354 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: if I hear somebody crying out, if I hear the fire, 355 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: because I can hear the crackling sound, the moving sounds 356 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: to assist five fighters and enhance their senses, The chief 357 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: has long been interested in a product that combines thermal 358 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: imaging and augmented reality. The problem is that early versions 359 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: were just not practical. What's thermal imaging was invented. The 360 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: early versions were helmet mattered. They were huge. I'm surprised 361 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: didn't break somebody's neck. The thing was so big. It 362 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: wasn't functional at least in a field environment. But according 363 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: to Harold, that could all be changing. He and his 364 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: department have been working with a company called Quake to 365 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: develop and test a new fire fighting tool called see Through. 366 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: As we talked about in the last episode of this podcast, 367 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: the higher data rates, lower latency and remote processing promised 368 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: by five G could make mobile VR and a our 369 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: devices much more feasible. We're working with Quake right now 370 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: to develop a item that either goes on your helmet 371 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: or goes in your mask and both allow you hands 372 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: free now to see into the fire. But even better, 373 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: they use like a green screen bordering technology that then 374 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: allows us to frame things and you know, then allows 375 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: us to see what's the heat levels and so forth. 376 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: So we put it on a bunch of our firefighters 377 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: and then ran them through our fire simulation building, so 378 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: it was full of smoke and heat and as close 379 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: to real conditions as you can duplicate. And not only 380 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: did were they more efficient in finding the victim and 381 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: getting them out in a shorter period of time. All 382 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: of them said, we want this now. This technology would 383 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: make us better, It would make us more efficient. My 384 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: gain is if this company can be successful and put 385 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: that new technology into every firefighter's hands, then you know, 386 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: that's a huge improvement for our industry. Harold's career goes 387 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: back decades, but as enthusiasm for technology was more of 388 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: an evolution. I was on a committee with the National 389 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: Instant Science and Technology after nine eleven. I was a 390 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: naysayer of the robots that were brought there. In fact, 391 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: we've come a long way since the early two thousands, 392 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: where all we envisioned was aerial robots, to where we're 393 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: literally able to fly that technology today and not expend 394 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of money to do it. Those aerial 395 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: robots that Harold was skeptical of other predecessors to drones, 396 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: tool that Harold now believes could be transformative for five 397 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: fighting and that could also be further enabled by five G. 398 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: Drones are amazing pieces of equipment put in the hands 399 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: of public safety personnel who would use them for good. 400 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 1: I mean literally last year we were flying on the 401 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: camp fire doing remote searches, and also that was the 402 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: third disaster that we had mapped within days to where 403 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: the public could go to a site and look through 404 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: a panoramic of all these different kind of piece together 405 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: digitized flights that were done and not only see their address, 406 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: but be able to zoom in and do a three 407 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: sixty on whether it was still there, what your neighborhood 408 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: looked like, and everything right after the fire for damage assessment. 409 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: As ever, we have to keep privacy considerations top of mind, 410 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: but you sensitively new technologies being developed by businesses in 411 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: consultation with local governments have the potential to save lives, 412 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: and the higher data rates and lower powered senses promised 413 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: by the next generation of wireless connectivity could make these 414 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: tools all the more powerful. Five G to me is 415 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: it's a bigger pipe, and so that bigger pipe allows 416 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: me to get data and other information I could have 417 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: never gotten before. By having that bigger pipe, you could actually, 418 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: at some point hopefully merge all these different technologies together 419 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: and have all of that in a face piece or 420 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: a helmet or a combination of both, so that we 421 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: truly move firefighting into the next century. My pie in 422 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: the sky, like I said, as a system that's able 423 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: for my firefighter to see what they're doing in a building. 424 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: They can see maybe what a drone footage over the 425 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: building looks like, so they can actually see where they are, 426 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: so they can be exposed to exterior conditions that typically 427 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: they won't be able to see unless they're outside the structure. 428 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: So how do I communicate that in So five G 429 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: to me is the pipe that could capture all that 430 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: information and stream it in to a firefighter's face piece 431 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: at the same time allow the instant commander outside the 432 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: structure to get it up on the screen like an iPad. 433 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, all those different things are in play, and 434 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: I know there are people working on all of them. 435 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: And Harold is more than happy to work with businesses 436 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: who he believes can help him and his team achieve 437 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: two outcomes. I'm open to anybody, any tech company, anybody 438 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: who's a you know, an inventor, innovator who wants to 439 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: talk about making something better. I'll listen to anybody for 440 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: at least five minutes to hear their pitch, read an email, 441 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: whatever they propose. If it's something that's going to help 442 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: our industry and save life and property or the environment, 443 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: that's what we're about. Bottom line Available now from My Heart, 444 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: a new series presented by Tembilepha Business, The Restless Ones 445 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: join host Johnson Strickland as he explores the upcoming five 446 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: year evolution and the business leaders who stand right on 447 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: the cutting edge. There are certain decision makers who are restless. 448 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: They know there's a better way to get things done, 449 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: and they're ready, curious and excited for the next technological 450 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: innovation to unlock their vision of the future. These restless 451 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: ones are in suit of bigger, better, smarter, stronger, they 452 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: seek new partners, new strategies, new processes. They pursue innovative 453 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 1: platforms and solutions to propel their teams, businesses, and industries forward. 454 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: In each episode, will learn more from the Restless Ones 455 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: themselves and dive deep into how they think of five 456 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: year evolution could propel their business forward. The Restless Ones 457 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: is now available on the I Heart Radio app or 458 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: wherever you listen to podcasts. In this episode of This 459 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 1: Time Tomorrow, we've looked at the technologies that are being 460 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: developed to literally fight fires, and we've looked at what 461 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: it means to build a more connected city overall. And 462 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: a common threat is that both Harold and Nicole are 463 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: partnering with businesses, some of them start ups, some of 464 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: them well established firms, but they're creating a relationship where 465 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: the product can actually fulfill an application that a local 466 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: government needs. I do think it's important that elected and 467 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: appointed officials think more frequently about how technology can benefit 468 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: and also consider the unintended consequences. Well, I was struck 469 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: by what the chief was saying about new technologies enabled 470 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: by five G potentially allowing his five fight is to 471 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: spend less time in dangerous situations. Surrounded by toxic fumes 472 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: and allowing him to keep better track of them, and 473 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: that could save lives in the short term and the 474 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: long term. Yeah, when Harold started fighting fires, he would 475 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: close his eyes because he couldn't see through the smoke. 476 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: In the future, they'll be able to use thermal imaging 477 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: in their headsets, and it makes me wonder what tools 478 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: they'll be using in the way way future. You know, 479 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: maybe we'll become better at predicting fires using environmental sensors. 480 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: In the best case scenario, as technologies like five G rollout, 481 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of promise in the future. 482 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: Better emergency care cities that make people's lives safer and 483 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: more convenient is something that all of us can aspire to. 484 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: On the next episode of This Time Tomorrow, we'll look 485 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: at how five G has the potentials transformed the world 486 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: of sports and explore more potential applications of augmented reality. 487 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm mozvelushin See you next time, no matter what you're after. 488 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: T Mobile for Business is here with a network born 489 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: mobile and built from the ground up for the next 490 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: wave of innovation for mobile broadband to IoT to workforce, 491 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: mobility and everything in between.
