# Wede Technology

> Operational continuity platform for mission-critical services - works without internet

## The Problem

Every day, critical operations fail because of internet connectivity. Emergency dispatch loses contact with field teams. Hospital systems go offline during power outages. Banking terminals stop working when the network drops.

The world depends on connectivity - but connectivity is not guaranteed.

## The Solution

Wede is an **operational continuity platform** that keeps mission-critical services running regardless of internet availability.

When connectivity degrades, Wede switches automatically to the next available channel - transparently, without any changes to your integration, without interrupting your operations.

Your teams keep working. Your systems keep running.

## Who Uses Wede

Wede is built for organisations where downtime is not an option:

* **Healthcare & Emergency Services** - emergency dispatch, patient monitoring, field medical teams, ambulance coordination
* **Banking & Financial Services** - payment terminals, ATM networks, field agents, fraud alerts
* **Logistics & Delivery** - last-mile coordination, fleet management, warehouse operations
* **Telecommunications** - network operations, field engineer dispatch, infrastructure monitoring
* **Government & Public Services** - critical infrastructure, border control, utilities, civil protection

## Communication Channels

Wede routes events through multiple channels, automatically selecting the best available option per zone:

| Channel                  | Description                                                    |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **REST Full**            | Standard internet - primary channel                            |
| **REST Compressed**      | Optimised internet - low-bandwidth environments                |
| **Structured Protocols** | Compact structured transmission - when internet is unavailable |
| **Voice**                | Voice call delivery - for critical alerts                      |
| **LoRa**                 | Long-range IoT - remote and rural areas                        |
| **Satellite**            | Global satellite coverage - extreme environments               |
| **Edge**                 | Local edge processing - zero external dependency               |

## How It Works

Wede integrates with your existing systems via a simple REST API. You send events - Wede ensures they are delivered.

Behind the scenes, Wede monitors connectivity across your operational zones and routes each event through the best available channel. If internet is unavailable, delivery continues through alternative channels until connectivity is restored.

Your integration stays the same. Wede handles the rest.
