Each year in the UK , around 40,000 people with dementia will wander from their homes, get lost and go missing.

Those who are gone for over 24 hours face the risk of serious injury and death.

Cutting-edge tech is giving search and rescue teams the edge they need to find the most vulnerable people.

MailOnline joined Surrey Search and Rescue (SAR) as they put their skills to the test in a live training exercise.

Each of Surrey SAR's vehicles is fitted with an Ericsson R2100 in-vehicle router.

It uses both mobile networks and low-earth orbit satellites to keep the teams in contact.

That information is also shared in real time with every member of the search team via an app on their phones.
