I need someone to build a Device Communication Server (DCS) to work with OpenGTS / Basic GTS Enterprise. The necessary documentation on how to build this is available. If you already have experience in this, it would definitely be an advantage.
Skills required - Java, HTTP based protocols, Servlets
We have a requirement to build up to 15 DCS. Initially I will pay $30 for 1 DCS to be built. If you are successful, we will look forward to working with you on building additional DCS.
Please refer to the links below for further details/documents on this project/information on building a DCS.

I have also attached the OpenGTS configuration manual, which includes technical details on how to build a DCS.
Please refer to all documents before bidding.
If you already have experience in building DCS - we would need to see proof of same.
See notes below:
What is a Device Communication Server, and why do I need one? [_] ([login to view URL])
A "Device Communication Server" (aka "DCS") is the module that runs as a separate process on the computer server and is designed to communicate with the remote tracking device to receive data and insert received information into the EventData table. It is needed to be able to get data from the remote tracking device into the GTS system. Every GPS tracking device manufacturer typically uses their own proprietary protocol for sending data to the server. This means that for each type of remote tracking device being used, a separate custom designed device communciation server (DCS) will be needed to understand the protocol being used by the device. For instance, if you are using Enfora and CalAmp devices, you will need a separate Enfora DCS, and a separate CalAmp DCS, to be able to handle receiving data from boths types of devices. Each device communication server (DCS) modules uses a different port for receiving data from the remote tracking devices, which allows multiple DCS modules to run simultaneously on the save computer/server.
J.8) How do I create my own device communication server (DCS)? [_]
In order for the GTS Enterprise to receive data from a device, a customized "Device Communication Server" (DCS) will need to be implemented that understands the protocol used to communicate with the remote device, and insert received events into the SQL database. A chapter in the "[login to view URL]" installation/configuration document ("Creating Your Own Device Communication Server") describes the starting point for implementing your own device communication server.
Hi. I have over 2 years experience with OpenGTS and building DCS for the system. I have already build about 7 dcs for OpenGTS. I am sure that I am able to build dcs for any of your devices. Regards.
Hi There,
I could do this for you. Because the software won't let me, I have to set a milestone, but I will not expect any payment until I am done with your requirements.
Now a question. Have you considered writing a simple mobile app which can normalize the data to be sent so that you only need 1 server on the receiving side?
