Strengthens critical remote control and monitoring applications

Ottawa & Kingston, CANADA - April 23, 2007 - SkyWave Mobile Communications, the leading supplier of D+ communications products and services, along with Aztech Associates Inc., specialists in remote control and monitoring systems, today announce the availability of the SPIKE messaging display terminal, developed specifically for use with SkyWave’s D+ satellite and GPRS terminals. Using the SPIKE and SkyWave terminals, integrators and service providers can easily develop text messages for their critical remote control and monitoring applications.

The SPIKE is a flexible, fully configurable messaging display terminal allowing users to communicate using free-form or pre-defined text messages. In addition to the ability to transmit position information, the SPIKE, when combined with a SkyWave terminal, becomes the ideal tool for creating location-based services for land mobile or marine applications.

“The combined efforts of SkyWave and Aztech enable integrators and service providers to quickly address text messaging requirements in some of the world’s most demanding locations,” says Geoff Salter, President of Aztech. “Security and safety are just two examples of critical applications that together SkyWave and Aztech help enable.”"The SPIKE messaging display terminal has a rich set of features that makes it very easy to create text messaging applications,” says Solomon Wong, VP of Marketing at SkyWave. “Text messaging using satellite or terrestrial communications is a necessary component to many critical applications.”

The SPIKE terminal is now available. For more information, contact SkyWave (www.SkyWave.com) or Aztech (www.aztechinc.com).

OGC(R) Calls for Participation in ArchitectureImplementation Pilot

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For information about this announcement, contact:

tel: +1-703-352-3938

sbacharach@opengeospatial.org

———————————————————————–

Wayland, MA, March April 18, 2007 – The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) has issued a Call for Participation (CFP) in the “Architecture Implementation Pilot,” which is a coordinated interoperability initiative of GEOSS, FedEO and Tri-Lateral initiatives. Responses are due by 11 May 2007 and the “Pilot Kickoff Meeting” will be held 5-6 June 2007 in ESRIN the European Space Agency’s establishment in Italy.

This CFP seeks participants in a coordinated Architecture Implementation Pilot. A Pilot is a collaborative effort that applies open standards for interoperability to achieve user objectives in an environment representative of operational use. Outcomes include best-practices and interoperability arrangements suitable for an operational capability.

This CFP seeks proposals from organizations involved with Earth Observation systems to:

* Identify components with services, e.g., portals, catalogs and other services;

* Participate in confirming the interoperability of those identified services using standards and interoperability arrangements as identified in the preliminary architecture of the CFP; and,

* Participate in the collaborative development of societal benefit scenarios to guide testing and demonstrations of the identified interoperable services.

The CFP was initiated to solicit response for the GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot. The Pilot aims to incorporate contributed components consistent with the GEOSS Architecture – using a solicited GEO Web Portal and a GEOSS Clearinghouse search facility – to access services through GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements in support of the GEO Societal Benefit Areas.

The Pilot benefits from the collaborative support of two OGC Interoperability Program Pilots:

* The Tri-Lateral Interoperability Pilot is a collaborative, operational test of open standards deployment, supporting collective requirements of organizations responsible for national and regional “Spatial Data Infrastructures” in Europe (INSPIRE), Canada (GeoConnections), and the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC).

* The Federated Earth Observation Missions (FedEO) Pilot provides a broad international venue for operational prototyping and demonstration of Earth Observation (EO) data access harmonization, interoperability requirements and protocols as defined by the European Space Agency (ESA), together with other space agencies and other OGC members.

(OGC) has issued a Request For Quotations and Call for Participation (RFQ/CFP) to solicit proposals in response to requirements for the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) Interoperability Pilot. The CGDI Interoperability Pilot is sponsored by GeoConnections, a Canadian partnership program whose primary objective is to evolve and expand the CGDI. GeoConnections is providing cost-sharing funds to offset expenses associated with the initiative. GeoConnections and the OGC intend to involve as many participants in the initiative as possible and thus are soliciting proposals that will enhance and/or make use of the initiative outcomes. Responses are due by 2 May 2007 and the Pilot Kickoff Meeting will be held the week of 25 June 2007. Technology deployments will be complete by October 2007, followed by a 6 month pre-operational phase. In the pilot, GeoConnections and provincial partners will test improved mechanisms for the distribution and update of framework data (geographic names, national road network, administrative boundaries, etc.), providing users with access to the most current and authoritative data, avoiding version disparities, and minimizing duplication. Provincial stakeholders will receive business consulting and technical assistance with the implementation of onsite OGC standards-based components. Assistance will include financial contributions for labour, software, and data publishing. The improvements will allow providers to maintain control over the data they own while contributing at the same time to a national view of that data. Project results will aid Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG) members in planning the future implementation of a distributed architecture for GeoBase, a federal, provincial and territorial government initiative.

With Flamingo MapComponents, organisations can share their geo-information as user-friendly interactive maps. Flamingo MapComponents is a powerful and interactive map system, and it offers an accessible package for map viewing. This modular system will be developed further by a community. The current development status is Release Candidate 1. Flamingo, the open source map viewer Provinces in the Netherlands use as a risk map and which has been deployed for a number of other uses, has been improved significantly on a number of points. Flamingo MapComponents is an open, flexible and accessible system for a broad audience. Flamingo MapComponents is available in English, and is able to connect to multiple data sources. This means that one single map image can be created from several map services. The modularity has also been increased, meaning the viewer can be used in many different ways. Thanks to the interaction between Javascript and Flamingo a map can very easily be integrated in a website. Furthermore, several map components are easily and simultaneously operated with one clear navigation bar. The future success partly depends on the community. The community will have to grow and develop in line with the software. Up until now, the project has been kept rather small-scale, but the developers are working to set up an extensive community around Flamingo MapComponents. At www.Flamingo-mc.org users can share their experiences with Flamingo MapComponents and their own map services with the rest of the community.This way, the site will be updated continuously with examples, how-to’s, and documentation. Flamingo MapComponents is available in English and it supports the WMS, one of the worldwide open standards for web mapping by the Open Geospatial Consortium (www.opengeospatial.org). The system is open source with a GPL-licence.For more information about Flamingo MapComponents, visit the website www.Flamingo-mc.org. Anyone who is interested in Flamingo and wants to know more about it, will find this site a valuable source of information. Flash developers and web experts will find technical information and possible updates on the site.Contact: R.S.W.
