If the device user is unable to explain his or her
whereabouts when the alarm is triggered it is
important that the alarm call recipient receives this
as additional information. The Safemate device
automatically sends a notification of its location.
Such notifications are primarily sent via GPS. If
the Safemate device is located indoors, or does
not have GPS coverage for some other reason
then the device will send its position using GSM
triangulation. The ability of the Safemate solution
to use both these tracking technologies increases
the scope of use even more.
for even better performance
SIM cards that can be permanently attached inside
mobile devices is a development that will give rise
to a continual increase in the number of machine-
to-machine solutions. A mobile personal alarm
should be capable of withstanding more than a
regular mobile phone, and our SIM card contributes
to a more robust solution.
EDB is an opportunity to support Norwegian-
developed high technology that can create greater
security for a great number of people. We see
Safemate as a good example of how advanced
technology can benefit the average citizen.
Moreto EDB launched the Safemate personal alarm
in collaboration with Telenor Norway. The core
function is to allow the user to trigger an alarm at
any moment by pressing a single button and then
be put into telephone contact with those who have
been registered to receive the alarm call. The user
decides who should receive the alarm call. At the
same time as calling the recipients the alarm unit
sends text messages with information about the
location of the Safemate user to the same recipients.
Both private individuals (relatives, neighbours
or friends) and professional bodies (healthcare
authorities or security companies) can be connected
as alarm recipients. There are also many people who
might potentially benefit from carrying a Safemate
alarm, and the user friendliness and robust design of
the alarm allow for a wide range of uses.
