Abstract:

The present invention provides a system and method for geospatially enabling electronic communication protocols. The automatic attachment of additional information to standard communication protocols georeferences the origin and destination of all data passing through the protocols. Georeferenced data transport allows for efficient aggregation from and broadcast to spatial regions and locations through a spatially hierarchical routing network that processes, filters, and redirects data at the lowest level possible. Georeferencing also facilitates location-sensitive data requests and continuously updating situational awareness.
