User interface

The user interface of SPACE Tracker is based on web 2.0 technologies and supports a maximum dynamic presentation of information on current web browsers.

In addition to the web interface, user interfaces for smart phones- based on mobile applications- allow the request and display of positions from embedded devices.

Data Connection

Depending on the data service of the device, the data connection between the devices and SPACE Tracker is based on communication channels such as http, SMS, GPRS and socket connections.

To best protect the own data, some devices currently available in the market, also support an encrypted connection between the device and SPACE Tracker.

Data Transfer

SPACE Tracker supports the exchange of data between the platform and the device in all common encoding and formats, such as UTF-8, ASCII, binary or hexadecimal. This allows the integration of a wide range of devices currently available on the market.

Geo-fencing

The analysis of positions regarding the geo-fences (“allowed” and “prohibited” areas) is based on the geo-database of SPACE Tracker. Therefore, SPACE Tracker supports geo-fencing even for devices that do not support this function.

Communication

The alarm triggered by an event, such as leaving an „allowed“ zone or a low battery alert, can be done through various communication paths such as SMS or email. In addition, an alarm can also be transferred to existing systems, for instance a DECT-pager, similar to those used in hospitals.

Interfaces/ Integration

SPACE Tracker can easily connect to existing systems through interfaces (web services, API). This is possible for all functions (e.g. user management, retrieval position).

Operating System

SPACE Tracker can be operated on an own server infrastructure or alternatively on dedicated or multitenant servers by nobisCum
