IceWEB has revealed that its subsidiary, INLINE, has introduced its new MLP ManPac III portable geospatial information server.

The company claimed that the ‘Modular Lightweight Portable’ MLP ManPAC III is designed for geospatial applications where organisations such as utilities, military, first responders and oil/gas exploration must have deployable geospatial server/client capabilities.

The new offering is expected to be suited for organisations that must work with such data in geographically remote areas, or in mobile team environments.

The company also said that the new offering supports modular external raid canisters, which not only allow the storage on the ManPac III units to scale upwards of 50Terabytes, but also allow remote users to swap out / interchange multiple GIS data sets to keep pace with changing ground situations and needs.

Gary Dunham, SVP of product development at INLINE, said: “This feature rich new ManPac III platform, coupled with its unmatched expandability and flexibility has been developed as a result of our deep experience with and understanding of the global Geospatial market – ManPac III and the external raid capabilities meets critical needs as defined by our existing customers.

“Future feature sets under consideration or development include the possibility of adding satellite up/downlink capabilities within the unit to allow for live feed and/or updates to content as well as for intercommunication between remote teams and their corporate or ‘home base’ counterparts and adding on-board GPS capabilities to aid users / team managers in determining their exact position relative to the content they are working with.”
