It took rescue teams a day to reach the remote site.

Early satellite-derived fire analyses were hand-drawn on maps at a remote site and sent via overnight mail to the fire manager.

The software at the remote site must filter, store, present a selection interface to and display the data.

This remote site was chosen due to high costs of land in the city and fear of accidental fire.

The selection process required that survey teams test the propagation path by setting up communication towers at each remote site during winter months.
