Numerex Launches mySHIELD SOS Powered by the Sprint Network
July 18 2016 - 9:00AM
Numerex Corp (NASDAQ:NMRX), a leading provider of managed
enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) today
announced the release of mySHIELD™ SOS, a wearable mobile
personal emergency response (mPERS) system designed to enhance the
safety of lone workers, the elderly, and others. Built on Numerex's
versatile IoT platform, mySHIELD SOS is a complete solution –
incorporating a device, network service, and a hosted, cloud based
application – as an off the shelf managed service that helps
improve the safety of workers in the real estate, healthcare,
education, security, energy, or any industry where people often
work alone, or are likely to find themselves in potentially
vulnerable situations where safety could be jeopardized.
"The mySHIELD SOS solution is the latest in the line of
innovative personal safety wearables built on the versatile and
proven Numerex platform, and powered by the Sprint Network," said
Shu Gan, Chief Marketing Officer at Numerex. "The market for
personal safety solutions is a key area of interest for Numerex. We
know there are many companies who employ workers that often find
themselves in potentially unsafe situations—whether they work alone
or in higher-risk occupations. We believe that this solution will
have broad appeal and could ensure a measure of safety to workers
enabling them to quickly summon help in an emergency.”
Numerex's cloud-based mySHIELD SOS solution is a packaged, ready
to deploy IoT solution which utilizes cellular technology and works
both indoors and outdoors. With a simple push of a panic button,
users can easily communicate their need for assistance, transmit
their precise location, and alert a call-center that is staffed 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. The mySHIELD SOS solution operates
anywhere across North America that the Sprint network is available,
and therefore does not ‘tether’ users to a home base station but
travels with them wherever they go, making it one of the most
versatile personal safety solutions on the market today and a
perfect fit for industrial, enterprise and commercial use.
“Sprint is pleased to partner with Numerex to launch the
mySHIELD SOS solution powered by the Sprint Network,” said Mohamad
Nasser, General Manager of IoT at Sprint. “This wearable personal
safety solution will help Sprint business customers improved the
safety of their employees in a wide variety of industries, i.e.
real estate, energy, security, construction, healthcare, and
education, etc. Sprint looks forward to advancing personal safety
by offering the mySHIELD SOS solution to our customers as we
believe this solution will be a valuable tool for many businesses
who want to ensure the well-being of their employees. Our
partnership with Numerex demonstrates Sprint’s leadership in
delivering innovative machine-to-machine (M2M) products and
technologies that will drive the growth of the Internet of Things
(IoT) and help our customers achieve success.”
mySHIELD SOS is a business solution, and allows managers to
combine multiple device wearers into groups and sub-groups based on
their organization's requirements. This allows managers to view the
location and status of all wearers for which they are responsible.
In addition, the mySHIELD SOS solution provides a dashboard that
enables administrators to locate users with mapped views, and to
schedule automated alerts and notifications via email and text
messaging.
