the present invention provides a system and method for geospatially enabling electronic communication protocols . the automatic attachment of additional information to standard communication protocols georeferences the origin and destination of all data passing through the protocols . georeferenced data transport allows for efficient aggregation from and broadcast to spatial regions and locations through a spatially hierarchical routing network that processes , filters , and redirects data at the lowest level possible . georeferencing also facilitates location - sensitive data requests and continuously updating situational awareness .
