How It Works

To access ADEX, agency users can either connect via Intranet through the SGWAN interface or via MPLS from their private network. ADEX enables the discovery and sharing of event data, such as status updates or event streams in real-time, across both the Internet and Intranet. Subscribers will receive updates as soon as the events are published, and Publishers can decide on the appointment of Subscribers.

Hosted on the Government Commercial Cloud (GCC), ADEX supports an exchange of data up to RESTRICTED classification and considered NON-SENSITIVE. It enables government agencies to publish and subscribe to real-time data using a self-service portal in GCC, both on the GCC Internet and GCC Intranet.
