Your Team, Connected: Secure TAKServer Hosting

Get the power of a real-time common operational picture without the complexity and cost of managing your own server infrastructure.

The Challenge: The Technical Hurdle to Situational Awareness

Many professional teams want to leverage the powerful capabilities of the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), but lack the dedicated IT and communications personnel to build and maintain the secure, reliable server infrastructure required. Setting up a server, managing security, and ensuring uptime is a full-time job that distracts from your core mission.
