Desktop Alert has recently started implementing its first to market GIS technology and the results have been pretty decent.  The new capability uses Virtual Earth for mapping coordinates and the accuracy of alert targeting has not only been able to handle static IP ranges (and subnet masks) but DHCP also. 

Our clients have installations which are often on the move.  An installation might pick up and relocate over night requiring an immediate network configuration change.  Going one step further, an installation might have numerous IP ranges.  The Desktop Alert GIS Interface provides a series of options that enable RAPID administration of these tasks.

The new Desktop Alert GIS technology also provides a complete interface for integration with many devices including hand held wireless radios equipped with GIS mapping coordinates.  If a soldier is down or otherwise, the coordinates can be sent with a zoom-able map image as well as audio directly to select laptops/workstations as.  Battle zone video can also be sent directly to a laptop/workstation.

This changes the entire scope of GIS in how it relates to desktop alerting.

GIS alerting will become the standard requirement in no time.  Desktop Alert is first-to-market with this exciting and new frontier of satellite mapping capability for content delivery to select and approved machines/devices screens/monitors by virtue of a desktop pop up.

IP addressable devices equipped with GIS capability instantly become extensible!  Data transfer of actionable intelligence to the desktop and other/mobile devices is clearly an awesome augmentation of information sharing across the network. This is a substantial contribution to the science of “unified notification”.
