TerraGate suite is a family of tools designed to support all the client-server requirements of Skyline’s 3D technology. TerraGate has two components: TerraGate component and TerraGate SFS component.





TerraGate Component

A powerful network data server technology that provides the following services, via the TerraGate server:

  • TerraGate Terrain Service
    Streams 3D geographic data from terrain cache databases (MPT) or directly from the original sources through the DirectConnect extension.
  • TerraGate Internet License Service
    Enables the use of extended TerraExplorer Pro API capabilities from authorized domains.
  • TerraGate Collaboration Service
    Hosts TerraExplorer Collaboration sessions to which multiple users can connect and work together in the 3D environment.

TerraGate Spatial Framework Services (SFS) Component

A powerful network feature server technology that provides the following services, via the SFS server:

  • Web Feature Service (WFS)
    Streams feature layers (points, lines and polygons) via the WFS server from Shape files and from the Oracle database, SQL server database, PostGIS and ArcSDE server, or from pre-cached layers created using the Cache Creator.
  • Web Map Service (WMS)
    Streams maps via the WMS server of spatially referenced data from terrain cache databases.
