This paper discusses a process of data collection from remote sensors and presentation on mobile devices. The presented research and work in this paper is done in the scope of REDIRNET project. The main motivation in the project is to support the rescuers facing operational problems in accessing and analyzing information from multiple sources, and providing advanced features for command and control of the emergencies. Timely exchange of information between competent authorities, a common understanding of data and a swift transmission of knowledge can save the lives and protect properties. Useful information are often heterogeneous and distributed between many organizations in the diverse information sources with the different access rights and with the different qualities. This work focuses on delivering the data from remote sensor nodes with intermittent connected networks and dispatching the results to the end users connected by mobile devices. A specific of this work is the means of sensor data collection, where the mobile devices are used as the data producers. The specified information and the data provided by mobile device sensors are collected and aggregated into a centralized system. In addition the sensor data are collected using remote sensors passing through an ad-hoc gateway that may be presented in a convenient way on the mobile devices.
