Solution

SEP developed a mobile application to run on an off-the-shelf handheld device. The solution required interfacing and integration with numerous components of the overall public safety system architecture.

Project Highlights:

  • Implemented complex multi-layer communication utilizing standard and proprietary protocols
  • Implemented a touch screen gesture engine for user navigation and interaction
  • Enabled the new app to interface with existing devices
  • Developed USB drivers to communicate with attached custom hardware

Results

Our work together resulted in a significant improvement to the design and usability of the product. The product was built on modern technology as well as an off-the-shelf handheld platform which reduced cost and better supported future hardware platforms options.
