Technology

We work with various technology…

Mobile phones
Mobile phones are the terminals of choice for some of our work. People are generally comfortable handling them and they are pretty much ubiquitous and abundant.

There’s a vast pool of terms like GSM, GRPS, 3G, SMS, MMS, J2ME, iPhone, Android, embedded linux (and much more) that one should consider when developing products utilizing mobile phones.

We know how they work well enough to help you decide the platform.

Distributed systems
Distributed systems are systems that are distributed across multiple devices, eg. client-server systems or pervasive sensor systems.

We make things talk – and things talk to people and vice versa.

Embedded computers
Low-power, microprocessor and microcontroller based computers that are small in size but capable in terms of computing power and flexibility.

Often with lots of inputs and outputs that allows us to rig sensors and indicator lights together. Making things blink in pattern actually has more of a psychological effect than you might think. :-D

Wireless technology
Wireless tech such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, GSM and RFID enable gadgets to communicate with each other – and with people.

There’s a lot of wireless technology available, each type having it’s own pros and cons when compared to others. The right tool for the right job is our position on this one.

Positioning
Satellite and mobile network based positioning allows for location based services on devices and social networks.

Besides being able to provide location data in multiple dimensions, positioning can also give an insight into the present context of the device of user and thus provide information on an often another really relevant ‘dimension’ or aspect of the life of the device – or of the person carrying it around

Social software
Social software (like social networks, blogs, wikis etc.) allows people to collaborate with each other like never before.

Social software coupled wireless, mobile and embedded technology enables much better human computer interaction than ever before.
