Wireless Interface
The wireless interface to Service Accent allows
the engineers to receive and access all service call wherever they are. Using
virtually any supported mobile device, for example, a Microsoft PocketPC device
or mobile browser/WAP handset), they can get their calls, update them, complete
them, even create new jobs remotely.
The mobile
application works off-line, without the need for wireless coverage. This allows
the mobile workers to use the device without the need to log-in to a mobile browser
solution. The application is actually on the device. The device knows when it
is on-line wirelessly or when it should store things locally and wait for coverage.
It can even transmit when it is its cradle, eliminating the need to fore wireless
connectivity. |
How it works
The engineer may use their wireless device (for example a Compaq iPAQ)
to communicate with Service Accent. (Click Magnify to the right
- just below the Compaq iPAQ devices)
All wireless data transactions are communicated across
the wireless carrier network seamlessly. Back in the office, your staff
receive all changes to the work order (time at call, parts used) instantly.
The Service Accent Wireless Gateway retrieves the HTTP response
from the AIRIX server (see below for information about AIRIX) and processes
it. Your Miracle Service Accent Wireless Gateway then sends the appropriate
HTTP response back to the AIRIX server which sends a response back to
the engineer's mobile device.
Of course, the engineer is unaware of any of this:
to them, it is one seamless application which does not require them to
play with a modem. This ensures they are in wireless coverage and connected
at all times.
