Image Access Solutions (IAS) revolutionizes the access, management and delivery of large geospatial images - so you can get the information you need faster. Using "intelligent streaming technology", IAS delivers image information to the remote users much faster than traditional dissemination methods, even when there are network bandwidth constraints. As a result, the time between collecting an image and delivering it is dramatically reduced, allowing you to make informed, accurate decisions faster.
And, IAS 3.0 - the newest IAS release - features an updated architecture, built to comply with the most recent JPEG 2000 and JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol (JPIP) standards. So you can be confident that when you use IAS to deliver images, you're using the most advanced, compatible, and dependable technology available.
