PeakLink proposes Hermes: compact, multi-protocol hardware modules (LoRa, Wi-Fi HaLow, Satcom, Wi-Fi) attaching to standard devices (phones, tablets, laptops). Hermes creates resilient urban communication via intelligent network switching (mesh or gateway access) based on real-time conditions. An integrated Edge AI app (iOS, Android, Desktop, ATAK plugin) parses data, provides summaries, and enables voice commands for hands-free use. Hermes ensures city leaders and departments maintain communication and data access even when conventional networks fail or are congested. It bridges critical gaps, enhancing operational resilience, enabling smart infrastructure, supporting equitable access to information during crises, and providing a robust framework for future Smart City innovations.
