Gatekeeper - Mobile Data Gateway (MDG)

Communications software for the management and control of radio data and for AVL and computer aided despatch systems.

Gatekeeper is a mobile data gateway (MDG) that provides the software interface between a client application or back end business process (Job Processing or Computer Aided Dispatch/CAD software) and the wireless data network. It may be installed anywhere on a TCP/IP network or on the same PC as the client software.

Gatekeeper currently interfaces to conventional and trunked mobile radio networks(MPT1327/MAP27, LTR Fleetsync), cellular data networks (CDMA, GPRS), and may be interfaced to other mobile data networks (ReFlex, satellite, P25, iDen) on request.

It manages queuing, terminal addressing, message storage, radios out of range etc. and the data transfer to and from client applications such as CAD, JMS and AVL. This is all processed seamlessly with feedback to the dispatching systems only when necessary. Gatekeeper is critical for achieving an effective, efficient and robust real time data transmission process.

Standard communications modules are available for inter-application communications such as com objects or flat file, or special interfaces can be provided if required.
