Cross Boarder ECTS, Option 2 – Local hosting environment

Seamless tracking across two countries • Each country will need their own infrastructure and server set up, but a link is established between the two

systems to enable interactions and information/data exchange • Only start details will be shared with the system in country B once the truck is armed and ready for departure

in A. • Tracking device and e-seal will follow the truck during its trip from start in country A through end station in B

Cross Boarder ECTS, Option 3 – Cloud hosting environment

A secure cloud hosted application and database would enable instant sharing of data • Commonly hosted system would eliminate the need for complex infrastructure for both Country A and for

Country B • All expensive investment on infrastructure and maintenance is removed from both country A and country B • Access to data will be given only to the control authority in the respective country where the vehicle is active • Backup routines, redundancy and co-locations are already taken care of and the system is monitored by

professionals 24/7 www.etstrack.com
