Secure Communications - EWA is providing its customers with secure communications via fiber-optic, radio frequency and telephony links. Secure traffic includes video, voice, data, and control communications. Security is being implemented both by hardware and software methods. As an example, EWA has developed a secure communications control device called the Communications Canister. This product integrates a data encryption unit with two diverse data transmission devices. The canister provides all power to each device, eliminating multiple larger power supplies. By use of adaptive matrix switching, the communications canister provides all interconnection changes between the devices thus eliminating re-cabling or patching when desired communications functions are changed. The canister even switches the output of each modem so that cabling does not have to be repositioned when modems are switched.

EWA develops applications of interactive 3-D graphics technology to visualize massive databases, to aid in data validation and data mining. Visualization is an intuitive, natural way to understand information and discover the real meaning behind large amounts of data. It is 'tailorable' to every customer's special needs so that only the most critical information is displayed. Visualization helps to solve the 'processing of information' problem, viz., it converts data into understandable information. Visualization includes adding spatial and mapping capabilities to the customer's information databases and providing easy access tools, thereby adding a better way to make prompt, accurate decisions. EWA is helping our customers discover the meaning of their information and make better decisions through data/information visualization. Through visualization, our customers are able to quickly detect patterns and trends in information and then drill down into that information for detailed spatial analysis and sound decision making.
