Telemetry systems that collect sensor data from remote or inaccessible sites and transmit it to the desired destinations have now become important in many applications. Safety critical systems, in particular, require that accurate data be communicated reliably and securely in a timely manner even in harsh environmental conditions where the potential for the failure of the communication devices are high. We have developed a novel multi-channel telemetry system that can work reliably and securely if some of its components or devices or even communication channels have failed, either due to harsh environment conditions, or some hostile actions by some adversaries. Since the fundamental goal of this system is to provide an infrastructure-free, reliable and resilient communication system for harsh environments, it can be tailored to many different domains of applications such as monitoring nuclear power plants in accident conditions, disaster management, mining operations, military surveillance, space explorations, naval ships/vessels monitoring and health care applications.Although there is a need for such a system in various safety-critical applications from technical point of view, however, it is important to better understand the market potential for the end-product. In this regard, it is essential to conduct market research as well as to conduct stakeholder interviews to identify specific needs based on different application domains so that the product features can be tailored to meet the domain specific needs. Such a market research will also help better estimating the market size for the developed product. As a part of L2M initiative, this project will focus on market research to determine the most feasible path for the viable commercialization of the product. A deliverable of this project will be a detailed market assessment report and a business plan, will be used for next phases of the I2I application process.

从远程或无法访问的站点收集传感器数据并将其传输到所需目的地的遥测系统现在在许多应用中变得非常重要。特别是，安全关键系统要求即使在通信设备发生故障的可能性很高的恶劣环境条件下，也能及时、可靠、安全地传送准确的数据。我们开发了一种新颖的多通道遥测系统，如果其某些组件或设备甚至通信通道因恶劣的环境条件或某些对手的敌对行为而发生故障，该系统可以可靠、安全地工作。 由于该系统的基本目标是为恶劣环境提供无基础设施、可靠且有弹性的通信系统，因此它可以针对许多不同的应用领域进行定制，例如在事故情况下监控核电站、灾难管理、采矿作业、军事监视、太空探索、海军舰艇/船只监控和医疗保健应用。虽然从技术角度来看，各种安全关键应用都需要这样的系统，但是，更好地了解该系统的市场潜力非常重要最终产品。在这方面，有必要进行市场研究，并进行利益相关者访谈，以根据不同的应用领域确定特定需求，从而定制产品功能以满足特定领域的需求。这样的市场研究也将有助于更好地估计所开发产品的市场规模。 作为 L2M 计划的一部分，该项目将侧重于市场研究，以确定产品商业化的最可行路径。该项目的交付成果将是一份详细的市场评估报告和一份业务计划，将用于 I2I 申请流程的下一阶段。
