<p>The data feed that renders the map is a live stream of information. Using a high-speed network allows reports to download faster and refresh as events are recorded. The cumulative reports can then be reviewed like rewinding a video timeline to establish trends, and users can jump back to specific days to review events. The "reporting" of this data by the masses requires cellular, wifi and broadband networks to get the data into the system. To amass and process the data to create real-time and/or cumulative reports and present them as visual "radar-like" maps requires large amounts of data storage, fast servers and a next generation high-speed network so that the results can scale based on bandwidth (ie., larger imagery, faster "dragging around" map data to illustrate trends, etc.) and be delivered to the end user.</p>
