[Anchor Lead]

Internet of Things technologies are being employed even in emergency situations these days. One such technology includes life jackets that allow rescuers to locate drowning people and check up on their health status right on the spot.

The captain of a burning fishing boat requests assistance.

[Soundbite] "Our crew has fallen into the water. We need help as soon as possible."

A fisheries inspection boat arrives at the site of the accident, but the crew has already been swept away by the current.

[Soundbite] "Help!"

Just then a drone arrives. It sends data to control center monitors on the location, number and health condition of the victims. The data is detected by a repeater in the drone that catches signals from life jackets made using Internet of Things technology. The control room immediately dispatches a rescue vessel to save the drowning crew.

[Soundbite] Oh Sung-mok(Network Executive, KT) : "This is state-of-the-art technology that sends information on victims to rescue boats in real time through drones."

Once commercialized, such life jackets could prove to be highly useful to fishermen.

[Soundbite] Choi Sung-ki(Fisherman) : "Existing life jackets are too heavy and cumbersome. Without GPS devices it's hard to find victims after they are swept away by the waves."

Life jackets made with Internet of Things technologies will likely be used on passenger ferries and in the Navy once their costs are lowered.
