The LifeLink system uses the SwRI-developed wireless Ethernet network deployed along the San Antonio freeway system.

The LifeLink™ system uses the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed wireless Ethernet network deployed along the San Antonio freeway system. This system transmits video, audio, and patient vitals data from a moving ambulance to a hospital for doctor consult / preparation during initial medical treatment. The deployed wireless Ethernet network was designed and tested at the SwRI test track facilities.
