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.
