Building a working location based application from scratch is a complex process. In the beginning, a business problem exists and an idea of how to solve that problem is created. Developers are then left to identify hardware, understand wireless networks and protocols, build communications software and the front-end web application. It takes an experienced and talented team to get all of this done. With support for many different devices, wireless networks and protocols, the Mapatoo Solution is a great way to bring your application to life. We can do all of it for you or let you do some development yourself.
What is the Solution?
|
The Mapatoo Solution uses our own building blocks that is the foundation for Location Based Services (LBS). This provides you with a reliable and scalable hosting environment, device communications software, databases, core tracking application, and a web interface. With you providing expertise in your market place and our development tools and skills, we will provide you a valuable turn-key solution. |

Making it Easier for Developers
|
For those that want to use their own developers, the Mapatoo Solution can provide raw device data directly to your own application. The Solution removes the complexity of transporting data from remote devices to your backend server. Forget about gateways and wireless protocols, we've already done that. You can focus on what really matters: creating a solution. |

The Mapatoo Solution Breakdown
The Mapatoo Solution can be broken down into several layers starting with the device and working up to the web application. Each section below gives a brief overview of the components necessary to create a working end-to-end GPS tracking solution.
|
Devices
|
|
We realize that GPS tracking devices come in many shapes, sizes, and speak different languages. The Mapatoo Solution can communicate with devices from many different hardware manufacturers including Enfora, Digi, Orbit One, CalAmp, Xirgo, and others. We're continuously adding support for new devices.
|
Wireless Networks
|
|
GPS tracking devices operate on different wireless networks and we've taken this into consideration. Whether you need GSM, CDMA, or satellite communication, our solution is compatible with a network that can meet your needs. We also can facilitate wireless airtime services |
Hosting
|
|
Our hostiing capabilities provide scalable Linux-based systems ready to accomodate your application. |
Gateways
|
|
Gateways are the glue that makes the solution concept possible. Gateways gather data from various remote devices and support several different protocols. They aggregate the data and make it available to you. We provide the proper gateways , based on the type of devices you are using.
|
Database
|
|
We understand the importance of open source software and realize very little of our solution would exist without it. Our solutions are built on top of leading open source database technology, need we say more ? |
Web Application
|
|
The visual side of the solution will mostly be viewed from a web browser on your desktop, or handheld device. We can provide you with raw data and let you build your own, or we can provide this very important part of the solution for you.. |
