International emergency response

Embracing the international theme of the event, Skyguard has announced it will showcase what it claims is the world's first and only international emergency response service at IFSEC International 2012, held at Birmingham's NEC in May.

Skyguard's International service gives lone workers the power to summon help at the touch of a button if they find themselves in trouble overseas. The service currently covers 36 countries across Europe, the Russian Federation and South Africa.

Travellers can activate the emergency service using a key-fob sized device developed by Skyguard, called MySOS. The MySOS is Europe's smallest and lightest GPS safety alarm, and can be discreetly attached to keys, a belt, worn on a lanyard, or as an ID badge holder.

Skyguard's service also runs as an app on a BlackBerry, with the handset's convenience side key acting as the alarm button.
