The System
The BlueSky Messaging System is designed to instantly dispatch messages to a variety of devices, ensuring they reach their intended recipient wherever they are located.
The Interface
What is a Device Interface? Simply put, it's the output service that sends messages that are subsequently received from an input service. For example, a fire alarm call to a device the user is holding. This device could be a smartphone, a Dect phone or a radio.
