I’m with the Q-Track team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA today attending the 5th Annual Workshop “Precision Indoor Personnel Location and Tracking for Emergency Responders.” Q-Track will be debuting our “Firefighter Location and Rescue Equipment” concept in a presentation at 11:20am (ET). I’ll provide addditional updates as time and opportunity present themselves.
