Small safety device launched

Skyguard will showcase one of the
UK’s smallest personal safety and
tracking devices at the Safety &
Health Expo.

The MySOS is small enough to be
worn as a pendant, or attached to a
bunch of keys. It
uses GPS and GPRS
technologies to
transmit its location
to Skyguard’s
Incident
Management Centre
(IMC), one of the
first single purpose
alarm receiving centres in the UK to
be certified to the highest industry
standards; BS 8484, BS 5979 (Cat II),
and ISO 9001.

The user presses the SOS button,
and the device will connect to the
IMC. Controllers will have all the
details of the user and what action to
take in an emergency. The MySOS
also features two way audio, allowing
the controller to listen-in to the
device’s surroundings and talk to the
user.
All the user’s details can be
managed and updated in real-time
via Skyguard’s secure online
customer portal. There is a suite of
reports available, include mapping
software. The devices can be shared
between multiple
users and allocated to
employees within the
online customer
portal.

For organisations
wishing to manage
alarm activations, the
device can be
configured to send its location via a
text message containing a web link
to a map to a nominated contact’s
mobile phone, followed by a 2 way
voice call.

The device can also be used as a
mobile phone by pressing one of the
two speed dial buttons which will
call the pre-programmed emergency
contact numbers.
