Blackberry compatible

Connexion2 has announced the launch of Identicom mobile, a new product that allows users to access much of the functionality of the Identicom lone worker device (LWD) on a Blackberry smartphone.

Identicom mobile is compliant with Section 5.2.1 of BS8484 and is easy to install on a Blackberry through a simple application download. This enables a user to obtain the necessary help if they become a victim of verbal abuse; attack or they feel their safety could be compromised.

As the manufacturer of the Identicom LWD, Connexion2 understands that a one size fits all solution is not applicable to all organisations.

Certain categories of lone worker will only face risk infrequently, which may not necessarily dictate the provision of a dedicated device. In such instances, the suitability of a mobilebased lone worker application becomes apparent, especially when combined with the fact that many UK workers now carry a Blackberry or other smart-phone device.
