Site safety system

A method for aiding in site safety comprising:

• (a) monitoring a status of multiple trigger devices at a site, wherein the multiple trigger devices include one or more sensors;
• (b) when a first trigger device interprets a threat, sending a threat notification from the first trigger device to an onsite command control server;
• and
• (c) after the threat is confirmed, a command control server processor sending threat information via a multi-mode data logger to a first responder;
• (d) wherein the multi-mode data logger
• (i) monitors, via a multi-mode data logger processor, an available bandwidth for each of a first, a second, a third, and a fourth data path,
• (ii) receives data from the onsite command control server through a data input at a given bandwidth requirement,
• (iii) when the available bandwidth for the first data path is at least as large as the bandwidth requirement, the multi-mode data logger processor sends the received data through the first data path,
• (iv) when the available bandwidth for the first data path is at smaller than the bandwidth requirement, and the available bandwidth for the second data path is at least as large as the bandwidth requirement, the multi-mode data logger processor sends the received data through the second data path,
• (v) when the available bandwidth for the first and the second data path is at smaller than the bandwidth requirement, and the available bandwidth for the third data path is at least as large as the bandwidth requirement, the multi-mode data logger processor sends the received data through the third data path, and
• (vi) when the available bandwidth for the first, the second, and the third data path is at smaller than the bandwidth requirement, the multi-mode data logger processor sends the received data through the fourth data path;
• wherein the first cellular output is communicatively connected to an omnidirectional antenna, the second cellular output is communicatively connected to a directional antenna, the landline output is communicatively connected to a wired data connection that extends off the building premises, the FM spread spectrum output is communicatively connected to a spread spectrum radio and the satellite communications output is communicatively connected to a SATCOM transceiver.

A site safety system comprising:

• an onsite command center server including a command center processor coupled to a command center system bus, a command center memory coupled to the command center system bus, the command center memory being a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium configured to store instructions for execution by the command center processor, and a command center communication interface coupled to the command center system bus;
• a first sensor and a second sensor spaced from one another and communicatively connected to the onsite command center server;
• a multi-mode data logger communicatively connected to the onsite command center server including
• a data input receiving data from the onsite command center server,
• a first data output and a second data output, being the default route for sending the data from the data input to a data output,
• a multi-mode data logger processor coupled to a multi-mode data logger system bus, a multi-mode data logger memory coupled to the multi-mode data logger system bus, the multi-mode data logger memory being a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium configured to store instructions for execution by the multi-mode data logger processor,
• the multi-mode data logger memory containing instructions causing the multi-mode data logger processor to:
• monitor available bandwidth via the first data output and the second data output, and
• when a bandwidth required to transmit data received from the data input exceeds the available bandwidth via the first data output, switch the route for sending data from the data input to the second data output;
• a first data transmitter communicatively connected to the first data output;
• and
• a second data transmitter communicatively connected to the second data output;
• wherein the multi-mode data logger further comprises
• a third data output,
• a fourth data output, and
• the multi-mode data logger memory further containing instructions causing the multi-mode data logger processor to
• monitor available bandwidth via the third data output and the fourth data output, and
• when the bandwidth required to transmit data received from the data input exceeds the available bandwidth via the second data output, switch the route for sending data from the data input to the third data output, and
• when a bandwidth required to transmit data received from the data input exceeds the available bandwidth via the third data output, switch the route for sending data from the data input to the fourth data output,
• wherein the first data output is one of a first cellular output and a landline, the second data output is one of the first cellular output, a second cellular output, and the landline, the third data output is one of the second cellular output and the landline, and the fourth data output is one of a FM spread spectrum output and a satellite communications output,
