Express Server

Providing the Best Visual Quality Using Any Connection

Distributing huge GIS images on the network is a complex task. High-definition satellite and airplane photographs, orthophotos, and other geospatial data include a great deal of data and necessitate plenty of storage, processing, and bandwidth. According to the rules of traditional delivery of images, the users must download a big file before they can see the data, that leads to lengthy loading process and low efficiency of using data.

Express Server provides a better solution for delivering high-resolution geospatial images. The course of action is rather simple – Express Server does not transmit the entire image file to the user, it has an ability to extract only the pixels that are necessary for the current view. Whenever the client shifts, zooms in or changes the view, the corresponding image data is sent right away.

The pixel-based approach results in a significant decrease of data that should be transmitted over the network. Big images can be processed and viewed much faster by the clients operating on limited bandwith or via distant connections.

The Express Server was created to deliver GIS images to clients, web applications, internal teams, and other public clients efficiently. The software allows organizations to provide their clients with higher-quality images while still maintaining the needed quality for the geospatial interpretation.

Through the approach of streaming only the images needed for one specific view, the organizations are able to save bandwidth, provide more accessible images, and lower the overall time of waiting for the images to download. Users will be able to zoom anything of interest, have unlimited access to the databases, or work with GIS images without waiting for the full files to be downloaded.

The software will be useful in any area where more than one need to manage the aerial imagery and other types of digital raster material.
