GADI : Genesis-Aided Dispatch Interface

GADI (Genesis-Aided Dispatch Interface) is a time and labor saving enhancement for MCC7500 users. GADI takes the great features inherent in the MCC7500 (aka Vortex) and enhances them in an integrated software and hardware solution. GADI improves dispatcher effectiveness for current MCC7500 users already connected to a SmartZone®, Dimetra or ASTRO® 25 system. It is also an appealing value consideration for those in design phases of a new system or system upgrades.
