THE CHALLENGEIn a Real Emergency, There Is No Time to Unlock a Phone
A safety device only matters in the seconds when someone is in danger and cannot make a call. It has to trigger with a single discreet action, send the exact location to people who can respond, and capture context without the user doing anything else. The hardware trigger, the location and audio path, and the integration into emergency response, including the national ERSS 112 system in India, are designed together so the alert reaches help and not just a contact who may be asleep.
A component of the broader Telematics and GPS Tracking capability, often deployed with People Tracking Solutions.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
One Trigger, Location, Audio, and a Real Response Path
One-Touch SOS
A dedicated panic trigger fires with a single press-and-hold or double-press pattern. The pattern is chosen to be easy under stress while resisting accidental activation in a bag or pocket.
Discreet Activation
The trigger can be pressed without looking at the device or holding up a phone. A wearable form factor lets the user reach it on a strap, clip, or pendant without signalling to anyone nearby.
ERSS 112 Integration
Designed to integrate the alert path with the national Emergency Response Support System (ERSS 112) and configurable emergency contacts, so a trigger can reach official responders with location, not only a private contact list.
Live Location Sharing
Live GNSS location streams to responders and trusted contacts for the duration of the alert, so they can follow movement in real time rather than seeing a single stale point.
Audio Capture
On activation, audio from the device is captured to give responders and contacts context about the situation, recorded and transmitted as part of the alert.
Compact Wearable and Backend
A small, easily carried device pairs a Quectel or u-blox cellular and GNSS module with a backend that receives alerts, manages contacts, and drives the live session.
WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED
From One Press to Help on the Way
Everything in the device serves the moment of activation. That sequence is engineered to be fast, silent, and reliable, because the value of the product is entirely in how it behaves in those seconds.
Instant Alert
The trigger fires an alert with location and starts audio capture immediately, with no screen to unlock and no app to open.
Multi-Channel Reach
The alert reaches ERSS 112 where integrated and the configured contact list at the same time, so it does not depend on one person being available.
Live Tracking Session
Responders and contacts open a live session showing current location and movement, and they stay connected until the alert is resolved.
HOW IT WORKS
Trigger to Responder
On the Device
A low-power MCU handles the trigger pattern, audio capture, and alert state. A Quectel cellular module with GNSS sends the alert and streams location, with the firmware prioritising the SOS path over everything else.
Over the Network
The alert travels over a TLS channel to the platform, with an SMS fallback carrying location if data is unavailable. Live location updates flow for the duration of the session.
In the Platform
The backend routes the alert to ERSS 112 where integrated and to the contact list, opens the live tracking session, stores the captured audio, and logs the incident for follow-up.
STANDARDS AND TRUST
Built to Be Carried and to Be Believed
A safety device has to be discreet, dependable, and handle very sensitive data correctly. The form factor, the response integration, and the data handling are designed to meet that bar.
ERSS 112 Compatible
The alert path is designed to integrate with the national emergency response system so a trigger can reach official responders, not only private contacts.
Discreet and Carry-Ready
A compact, lightweight device clips, hangs, or attaches to everyday items, with a trigger reachable without looking.
Sensitive Data Handling
Location and audio are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is scoped to the alert session, and retention is designed so personal data is held only as long as needed.
FAQ
Common Questions
How does the SOS trigger avoid going off by accident?
A deliberate activation pattern, such as a press-and-hold or double-press, is easy to perform under stress but unlikely to happen on its own in a bag or pocket. The pattern is tuned during testing to balance fast activation against accidental triggers.
Can the alert reach the police, not just your contacts?
Yes. The alert path is designed to integrate with the national Emergency Response Support System (ERSS 112) where that integration is available, so a trigger can reach official responders with location alongside your configured emergency contacts.
Does it share live location or just one position?
It streams live GNSS location for the duration of the alert. Responders and trusted contacts see current position and movement in a live session, rather than a single point that may be out of date by the time they look.
What does the audio capture do?
On activation the device captures audio to give responders and contacts context about the situation. The audio is transmitted and stored as part of the alert, and access is scoped to the active session.
What happens if there is no data signal?
An SMS fallback carries the location so the alert still goes out when data is unavailable. The firmware prioritises the SOS path, and the device retries to deliver the alert and resume live location once a usable signal returns.
Is the device designed, or only the app and backend?
The full product is in scope. The compact wearable, the trigger and firmware, the cellular and GNSS integration, and the response backend are built together, which is how the activation sequence stays fast and reliable.
