Event handling
Crucial to Unite’s ability to disseminate information quickly and in turn get
fast responses is the event handling functionality. As illustrated within the
cases above, event handling determines who gets messages and when,
which types of alarms or messages are sent and where, when to set up
success and failure conditions, and how to configure the events database.
Logical composition
Unite consolidates the functionalities and potentialities of three logical
layers of applications, services, and carrier systems. These layers are:
User Applications – equipment and applications used in daily activities.
For example, interactive messages on handsets, alarm presentation and
handling, message initiation from web browsers, emails directly to your
handset.
System Services –message routing and escalation, group handling,
system supervision and logging, address resolution, and much more.
Carrier Systems – these systems handle the data and communications
with mobile terminals and input/output hardware. For example DECT,
VoWiFi, Paging and GSM.
TECh faCTs – Unite employs state-of-the-art
technology for interactive messaging:
An IP protocol-based system easily interfaces
with other equipment
linux os for optimal performance and low
maintenance costs
