HipLink Mobile8.7.9 - App Store

HipLink Mobile:
HipLink Mobile is an extension of the HipLink communication platform that provides maximum flexibility to optimize use
of smartphones and tablets for secure messaging and texting. Using HipLink Mobile, a User can have a priority view of
important alerts, receive fully-secure text messages, send secure messages, and execute actions remotely. Text
messages can be sent completely independent of a cellular data connection using Wi-Fi. In addition to interactive chat
messages like traditional SMS, the application can also receive an alert sent from a desktop, call center, or automatically
from a backend application.

attached, from where Users not only see the directions, but also see who else is en route to the incident.

- Fully secure messages with confidentiality and integrity checks
