DataCast Platform for M2M Solutions

The foundation for uniquely effective solutions. DataCast is the technology underlying Isochron's solutions for companies that want to use machine-to-machine (M2M) technology to realize greater business benefits. Building on a unique foundation that combines sophisticated in-machine technology, flexible data communications methods, and handheld and desktop software, DataCast can be customized to meet the needs of businesses in a variety of industries. It serves as the basis for developing customized solutions that meet each business' particular needs.

DataCast means high-volume, low-cost M2M communications and data transactions. The DataCast platform brings together five technology components to enable efficient, cost-effective communications between remote equipment and company servers, as well as high-volume data transaction processing.

These components include browser-based desktop access to critical information for office users; highly scalable DataCast Manager software for processing high-volume data transactions; flexible remote communications over a broad range of networks; handheld technology for mobile access to information from remote equipment and the DataCast Manager; and HIAD (Handheld Interrogation Audit Device) hardware to provide an expandable, PC industry-standard communication interface with legacy equipment.

Isochron's most successful market has been in the cold-drink vending industry, where the DataCast platform serves as the product infrastructure for VendCast. Companies in this industry rely on VendCast to help them improve customer satisfaction, increase sales, and reduce operational costs.
