Company Overview
Profile
ConnectedWireless was incorporated in 2002 as a separate
entity within Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC)
in Austin, Texas to concentrate on what had become a rapidly expanding
"automated asset management" business. From its humble beginnings
with the USAF's Air Mobility Command, and its legacy system, Falcon
Gateway, ConnectedWireless has been providing critical Command
& Control (C2) system support to the nation's strategic airlift
fleet since 1996. Today, Falcon Gateway moves over 35,000 messages
per month between command and control nodes on the ground, and the USAF's
heavy airlift fleet. In addition to C2, AMC also initially funded and
directed CWC's efforts toward Automated Identification Technologies
(AIT) enabling expert management of cargo and personnel.
Core Compentencies
As a result of its Falcon Gateway experience and subsequent investment,
ConnectedWireless Corp developed three essential core competencies which
enable the expert integration of existing systems:
- Optimization of Low Bandwidth Channels/Links to remotely
transmit large volumes of data. Using proprietary compression, data
management, and encryption techniquesand utilizing a "store
and forward" architecture, CWC is able to effectively use many
"low-bandwidth" communication links (i.e., cell phone, HF,
Iridium, INMARSAT) to move very high volume text data. This enables
CWC to create logistics systems selecting Comms channels based on
regional availability and costgiving the customer best value
and performance.
- Remote Data Capture. Using Small Hand-Held, Battery Powered
Devices, CWC has pioneered the use of a variety of fully integrated
interrogators/readers to expertly capture all forms of Automated Identification
or other Sensor Technologies, regardless of the source. Whether 1D/2D
Bar Code, RFID Tag (Active or Passive), Temperature, Shock, Humidity,
etc. CWC Hand-Held Interrogaters/Readers are designed to gather and
forumulate the precise data desired.
- Remote Message Formulation, Transmission, and Delivery. Using any
one of a variety of CWC's unique environmentally hardened case designs (Operating
Range: -60 Degrees F to +140 Degrees F), the user is able to seamlessly
download data from the Hand-Held device, formulate the proper data message
at any point on the globe, and send to any number of recipients /AIS's world-wide
using CWC's proprietary DAVS Server & Message Router (DSMR) architecture.
Taken together, CWC's core competencies enable the integration of Transportation,
Logistics, Maintenance, Medical, or other systems, enabling customers
to capture critical data in extremely austere regions and send expertly formulated
messages in near-real time wherever required.
