View will replace paper maps at ComEd and PECO and provide an easy-to-use interface for field workers to query, locate, navigate and redline GIS data. Layered on top of View for a single, spatially-based tool will be FieldSmart Route and FieldSmart Secure. Route will provide EED field workers directions from point A to B, highlighting the route on the map and displaying turn-by-turn directions. Secure will provide protection of EED's asset data in the mobile environment, including data encryption data encryption, the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign , password protection and application lockout lockout, intentional closing up of a company, factory, or shop by an employer to prevent employees from working during a strike or labor dispute. The term lockout . MapFrame's powerful server component, Field Flow Manager, will handle data flow between EED's office and field environments, driving an incremental update process to synchronize data and keep field maps and related data current.
