1. A bridge device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving, at a first tier of a network, a geographic addressing packet destined for a target region containing a plurality of devices;
determining, via a first bridging function using information based on the geographic addressing packet, whether to transmit the geographic addressing packet; and
determining to transmit the geographic addressing packet to a second tier of the network based on the first bridging function indicating that the geographic addressing packet should be transmitted to the second tier, wherein the second tier comprises a non-bridge device receiving the geographic addressing packet, and wherein the non-bridge device decrypts a header of the geographic addressing packet to determine whether to send the geographic addressing packet including a common operating picture update to another device.

Abstract
A bridge device at a first tier receives a geographic addressing packet destined for a target region containing a plurality of devices. The bridge device applies a bridging function using the geographic address packet to determine whether to transmit the geographic addressing packet. The bridging function utilizes certain information based on the geographic addressing packet. The bridge device determines to transmit the geographic addressing packet to a second tier based on the bridging function indicating that the geographic addressing packet should be transmitted to the second tier.

10. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a first tier of a network and by a bridge device comprising a processor, a geographic addressing packet destined for a target region containing a plurality of devices; determining, by the bridge device, via a first bridging function using information based on the geographic addressing packet, whether to transmit the geographic addressing packet; determining, by the bridge device, to transmit the geographic addressing packet to a second tier of the network based on the first bridging function indicating that the geographic addressing packet should be transmitted to the second tier; and distributing, by the bridge device, the geographic addressing packet by a third tier of the network to the plurality of devices responsive to the geographic addressing packet being received at a third tier located in the target region. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
receiving, at a first tier of a network, a geographic addressing packet destined for a target region containing a plurality of devices; determining, via a first bridging function using information based on the geographic addressing packet, whether to transmit the geographic addressing packet; and determining to transmit the geographic addressing packet to a second tier of the network based on the first bridging function indicating that the geographic addressing packet should be transmitted to the second tier, wherein the geographic addressing packet is secured by a shared session key encryption system administered by a field security administrator. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
