Your Eyes See the Complete Picture
The human brain processes only one spoken word at a time while multiple images are processed in milliseconds. Wildfire commanders and regional fire chiefs are required to make multiple decisions quickly. FireLink provides on-screen information in seconds.
FireLink cloud is not complex. It is simply an open database and related web screens. These screens display GPS location data, text messages and alerts from 3rd party tracking and communication systems. This includes remote ground and air assets as well as teams involved in wildfire firefighting or search and rescue. Assigned access credentials are used to control who sees what.
FireLink does not replace existing systems.It is a CLOUD application that processes a wide range of data from 3rd party systems and merges the data on to common shared video screens ranging from Smartphones to Wall Screens via 4G/LTE LMR and Satellite links.
FireLink is based on Datalink’s DataGate Server software, in use by military and government agencies in many countries.
