IDA is happy to announce the launch of its industry unique Trak-it Data Engine (TiDE) technology. The radio communications, at large, is undergoing a transformation from being predominantly voice-driven to data-intensive communication. Additionally for the industry to remain mainstream, instead of losing out to the cellular world, it has to expand its application base to the world of M2M, IoT and more data-driven applications. The users should be able to move their data seamlessly from any format to any target without developing any new software. This is what TiDE does. It is an open-source, custom developed, data management platform to meet realtime needs of our clients. The developmental goal of TiDE is to offer seamless acquisition, transport and reporting of diverse input data sources to targeted applications for realtime, intelligent decision-making. Essentially, TiDE serves an ideal middleware, a data router, a data acquisition application, a data transport vehicle and a data consolidator for diverse data sources built on industry standards. 

Mr. Sanjay Patel, IDA’s President and CEO comments, “We are transforming IDA to be a software- oriented, data-centric and application driven communication solution company. This is in line with our goal to expand the radio industry from its conventional focus in public safety and law enforcement industries to explosive growth areas of M2M (Machine-2-Machine) and IoT (Internet-of-Things). The pivot of this paradigm shift is “data”. Through our expertise in development of M2M, IoT, Web and Mobile Ecosystems, IDA has developed a universal data management platform which will significantly benefit the radio industry at large and help revolutionize the way we use 2-way radio communication systems.” 

Kunal Sharma, VP Software Development says, “Our goal was to develop a hardware-agnostic, infrastructure-friendly data router type application which is easy to operate and easy to customize to meet the diverse data applications needs of our clients and their peers. We are ready to take the challenge to seamlessly interoperate data streaming between mobile / cellular devices, radios and different enterprise software applications on P25, ED137 and other industry standard communication protocols.” 

Daivesh Sanghvi, of IDA’s EVP – Business Development says, “Industry needed a subscription based multi-vendor, multi-device, multi-application ecosystem. With TiDE as a service, our OEMs and dealer partners can now offer custom solutions to their clients without incurring expensive software development costs and upkeep challenges after implementation. For our clients too there will be no capital expense and they will be readily able to use TiDE platform as a Service to focus their energy and resources in managing their real-time needs. We are confident that TiDE will usher them into the new world of data management in radio communications.”
