DCI (Data Communication Interface)
GPS tracker, data port and cellular communicator
Track and direct the movements of multiple teams as they deal with tactical engagements and training exercises.
The DCI is a "smart" device that integrates GPS data, wireless communication and training software (if desired) for real-time remote control of field personnel. Any component in this modular system can be configured, activated and deactivated from a PC or central network server. With low power consumption and field-tested design, the DCI is ideal for missions of long duration, with a special Robust model for use in harsh environmental conditions.
As a stand-alone system, the DCI offers adjustment-free installation in mobile positions, and problem-free tracking of all movements as they occur elsewhere - to within one meter of the physical location.
