The De Facto Software Standard for Fighting the Effects of Global Warming

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.

Your Eyes See the Complete Picture

FireLink cloud is not complex. It is simply an open database and related web screens. These screens display GPS location data, text messages (SMS), 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. It allows competing companies to share pertinent information without compromise.

FireLink is web-based and is viewable on any computer. This includes handheld smartphones all the way up to wall sized video screens.

Our Global Clients

Datalink International, our sister company, and its core team have been working together for over 20 years. In that time Datalink has created specialized solutions for a wide range of clients around the globe. The Royal New Zealand Air Force equipped its P3 Orion long range patrol aircraft with Datalink i50 MobiHubs and were later involved in the search for the missing Boeing 777 MH370. The Swedish Space Agency uses the Datalink i50 MobiHub to control high altitude scientific balloons rising to altitudes over 100,000 ft.

US Embassy Attack

On September 2011 Taliban fighters attacked the US embassy in Kabul. A few days later the US State Department contacted Datalink to ask if Datalink could provide a GPS application to work with the embassy’s P25 portable radios.

Datalink delivered a working solution, including DataGate and WebGates, within a few weeks. Providing GPS tracking for all their P25 portables.

London Metropolitan Police

In 2007 the London Metropolitan Police anti-terrorism squad contracted Datalink to develop an Android-based, covert GPS tracking system for undercover officers.
