About the Company
Streetwise CADlink provides serious, enterprise-grade software that is focused on providing MDC-style features for use in responding apparatus. StreetWise is a hybrid of response software and preplan software, uniting these two traditionally distinct functions into a single platform. StreetWise isn`t a simple app store freebie, it`s real software for departments that are serious about getting the most from tablets or replacing clunky outdated laptops. Learn more about what makes our solution so unique by clicking on the bullet points below: Speed and Control Are Important We Control Data Delivery End To End Timing, consistency and dependability are critical to emergency response and we know that. That`s why Streetwise CADlink® utilizes direct server-to-client networking technology that allows alert delivery to be controlled, accurate and confirmed. Some competitors/imitators rely on the freebie "Push Notification Services" provided by operating systems, such as Apple Push Notification Services (APNS) or Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM). These services are made available for free to software developers to allow quick, cheap, and simple application messaging to devices through the operating system`s third-party server. Unfortunately, these services were never intended for time-sensitive materials. Even Apple, in its own system Developer`s Guide, states "Remember that delivery of notifications is `best effort` and is not guaranteed*. Tens of thousands of apps use push notification services to deliver everything from coupons to weather conditions to Facebook updates and more. Since these services offer no means of prioritization, messaging can be queued and throttled to keep the system from overloading. The result could be inconsistent speed and reliability, something that might not matter if you`re sending a "deal of the day" coupon, but could be a deal breaker for emergency response information. Though it`s a more expensive method, Streetwise CADlink® servers deliver information through a direct and proprietary connection, so the tablets acknowledge the receipt of all data, performing a virtual handshake. Information exchange can be tracked, time-stamped and confirmed. The connections status of a tablet can be monitored by the system at all times.
