How It Works

The GeoPro™ solution is a complete remote workforce safety, emergency management, and productivity solution comprised of a rugged satellite text messaging device with integrated GPS, and a secure hosted web application.
GeoPro Messenger device is a rugged handheld device that uses an embedded Iridium SBD modem for over the air (OTA) communication with the Iridium® satellite (SBD) network. It enables two-way global messaging with other email, mobile phone or GeoPro Messenger users and features a dedicated emergency button, on-screen keyboard, and a range of safety, check-in, messaging, tracking and waypoint applications for improved productivity.
The GeoPro Web Application runs in a robust hosted (SaaS) environment that’s secure, reliable and fast. GeoPro leverages the Internet’s ubiquity to provide browser-based access to a wide range of employee safety and communication features, monitoring windows and configuration tools. It uses ESRI ArcGIS® Web Mapping for online mapping, providing users with real-time visibility of remote workers’ status and location anywhere on earth in a graphical web-based map. The GeoPro solution is ArcGIS 10 enabled.
GeoPro keeps each organization’s data safe, secure and accessible with multiple load balanced redundant server architecture, a clustered database and storage area network (SAN). The SaaS platform lets organizations enjoy:

Anywhere browser access and password protection
Easy set up – can be up and running in no time
Secure data, backed up daily and stored in multiple locations
