LuciadLightspeed is widely recognized as the leading set of high-performance geospatial software components. Major international companies and organizations, Systems Integrators and Original Equipment Manufacturers use LuciadLightspeed to rapidly develop geospatial situational awareness applications for mission-critical operations.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
LuciadLightspeed can be used independently of any other Luciad technology. It is possible to extend the functionality of LuciadLightspeed with many optional components. The additional components allow users, for example, to connect to other Luciad products such as LuciadFusion, LuciadMobile and LuciadRIA, as well as other non-Luciad applications.
