Personal safety tracking device

摘要

Skyguard has launched what it claims to be the UK's smallest personal safety and tracking device. The MySOS key-fob sized device weighs just 40 grams and is small enough to be conveniently and discretely worn as a pendant or attached to a bunch of keys. Certified to the code of practice for the provision of lone worker device services (BS 8484), the MySOS uses GPS and GPRS technologies to transmit its location to Skyguard's Incident Management Centre (IMC). To initiate an alarm the user simply presses the SOS button and within seconds the device will connect to the IMC. Here, trained controllers will have all the relevant details of the user; who they are, where they are, and what action to take in an emergency. This could be contacting the emergency services, individuals within their organisation or summoning its National Response service and directing them to the relevant location. The device also features two-way audio, allowing the controller to listen-in to the user's surroundings and talk to them if it is safe to do so.
