Integrating GIS and Remote Data Acquisition into Your Soluti

[Johann Blake]

If your customers require GIS and/or remote data acquisition in the
software that you develop, please checkout Polaris.

Polaris is a system that operates as an XML web service and can relay
remote data over the Internet to a central control station. You can
also track objects in real-time on a geographical map using
applications like MapPoint and OziExplorer. It supports storing data
in multiple languages and was designed for software developers who
need to create custom solutions. Polaris is hardware independent
allowing you to interface it into any hardware that your system
requires.

Polaris can be used in:

* tracking vehicles, equipment, humans, animals, etc.
* monitoring data at remote sites: temperature, voltages, fluid
levels, etc.
