Terabytes of ECW imagery can be served into handheld mobile devices using Arcpad v6.0.
ESRI's ArcPad software is a mobile geographic information system. ArcPad provides database access, mapping, GIS, and global positioning system integration to users out in the field via handheld and mobile devices.
The ECW compression technology is fast becoming the spatial industry standard for wavelet-based imagery compression, Earth Resource Mapping said.
ECW provides up to 100:1 multiband compression at high speeds.
"This plug-in will provide a huge benefit to ArcPad users in the field - lightning quick view, roam, and zoom of ECW imagery, and the ability to view remote ECW imagery in the field via the ECWP protocol," Mike Dunne of Earth Resource Mapping said.
"They will have access to terabytes of imagery in the field."
