Can contestants assume everyone will be carrying a mobile phone? Should contestants be able to communicate with persons trapped somewhere? Should contestants be able to send SMS/text to a whitelist of discovered phones?

One of the scenarios is search and rescue mission, and locating phones can be assumed. Overall, the data collection will focus on collecting data packets that simulate IoT devices including phones. We will not ask competitors to communicate with trapped people or send SMS to the phones. This could be demonstrated by a team but is not required per Official Rules criteria.
