Solution features
award-winning technology to collect position and
attribute data
Norwalk,CT (September 25, 2002) - LinksPoint, Inc., a
leader in location information systems today announced
the introduction of its newest mobile data product -
Field Data Collector. Field Data Collector is a
cost-effective, tightly integrated solution for
capturing item attribute, Global Positioning System
(GPS) position and timestamp data using ruggedized
handheld computers and LinksPoint's GlobalPoint GPS
receivers.
"Until now, the only solutions for acquiring
location data in the field required expensive, complex
hardware, or inefficient routines involving one device
for GPS and another for data entry," said Strite H.
Potter, president of LinksPoint. "Field Data
Collector provides GPS positioning, user-configurable
attribute menus and barcode scanning for location data
collection in one integrated solution. Uses run the
gamut from cataloging location data for network assets
such as light poles or meters to gathering information
on critical infrastructure for homeland security."
LinksPoint's Field Data Collector package is built
around three key components:
- Field Data Collector Software Suite -
Includes desktop platform offering easy menu
configuration and data management, plus handheld
client software that provides integrated GPS
location capture and barcode scanning. Field Data
