Darwin has become home to the first multicast mesh network in Australia =

began after the NT Police, Fire and Emergency Services Department =
awarded the contract to Darwin-based security company, Security and =
Technology Services (STS).
Managing 109 closed circuit TV cameras initially proved troublesome for =
the NT Police, which often experienced power outages resulting from =
lightning strikes as well as the transmission of high definition video =
streams from cameras to three police stations and a fourth remote =
