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.
