Often threats may encompass entire regions. WAVES Web Connect is capable of communicating to multiple, independent, and geographically separated WAVES MNS sites into a broader globally controlled system. WAVES Web Connect provides remote access and control of numerous WAVES from a primary location such as a Regional Operations Center or Corporate Security Office to create wide-area coverage and coordinated alerting and monitoring, expandable to essentially any scale. Geographically separated, local WAVES can be monitored and controlled by WAVES Web Connect. The entire global system can be controlled from any remote location via a zero footprint Graphical User Interface (GUI) such as Internet Explorer running on a laptop or desktop. Standard roles and privileges security measures are used to authorize access to the system.

The local WAVES Integrated Base Stations (IBS) would be placed, for example, in a facility’s security office or emergency operations center (EOC). The individual WAVES continue to operate independently with local inputs; however, based on pre-defined privileges, they accept and execute global commands from WAVES Web Connect; they also provide status reporting to the global server.

The system is capable of working in an automatic mode and will automatically trigger alerts in specified zones. Alternatively, manual alert activation can be generated at the different hierarchical levels (either local or regional). This makes the system usable for wide-area alerting such as a region-wide terrorist attack or it may be utilized at the local level for alerting a specific housing area to fires or chemical spills.

External interfaces are also provided for non-WAVES applications. Both the local WAVES and the Web Connect can accept XML messages via Socket, file transfer, or serial communication ports to execute WAVES scripts. This enables integration with external Command and Control (C2) systems and Computer- Aided Dispatch (CAD) Systems.
