The ReadyOp Dashboard’s secure link provides secure encrypted end to end communications between two or more users of the ReadyOp system. This provides users with the ability to securely communicate using chat as well as audio and video conferencing. In addition, it provides encrypted file transfer, allowing even sensitive files to be shared between users.
