The Wireless Data Network (WDN) is the collective
name given to the combination of our mobile
data terminals and Gatekeeper
mobile data gateway software working with integrated
CAD or job management systems supplied by our
dealers or partnered systems integrators.
The WDN provides the framework around which
an extremely versatile and flexible voiceless
dispatch system can be created for mobile job
management and field service automation.
The WDN can be integrated into almost any computer
aided dispatch, job management, logistics or
maintenance management system with a number
of easily configured software tools.
