In an exciting development for lone worker protection, Securus has unveiled a significant update to its StaySafe app: the introduction of Satellite mode. This groundbreaking feature promises to redefine safety standards for employees working in remote locations by ensuring global connectivity, thanks to a strategic partnership with Garmin.
Global Connectivity Redefined
The collaboration between StaySafe and Garmin leverages the power of the Iridium network, offering unparalleled 100% global coverage. This means that employees working in the most isolated parts of Western Australia, from the Kimberley to the Goldfields and Great Southern, can now stay connected and protected. The Satellite mode is designed to work seamlessly with both iOS and Android devices, fully integrated into the StaySafe app, ensuring that employees are never out of reach, regardless of cellular connectivity.
Seamless Integration for Uninterrupted Safety
Understanding the critical nature of connectivity for lone workers, the Satellite mode is engineered to automatically switch to a satellite connection in areas devoid of cellular signals. This ensures continuous location updates directly from the satellite device, guaranteeing that the app always utilizes the best available connection to maintain communication with employees.
Enhanced Safety Features Through Satellite Connectivity
The Satellite mode is not just about maintaining connectivity; it’s about enhancing the safety of employees with advanced features:
Easy Alert Raising: Employees can quickly raise an alert in case of emergencies, ensuring immediate response actions.- Welfare Check-ins: Regular check-ins are simplified, making it easier to monitor employee wellbeing.
- Fall Detection and Non-movement Alerts: Standard features now include automatic alerts for falls and periods of non-movement, providing an extra layer of safety.
- Work Completion Notifications: Employers can know when employees have safely finished their tasks.
- Satellite Usage Identification: It’s easy to identify when employees switch to satellite mode, allowing for better tracking and support.
A Commitment to Employee Safety
This update underscores Securus’s commitment to leveraging technology for the safety of lone workers. By partnering with Garmin and utilizing the Iridium network, Securus is setting a new standard in global connectivity and safety for employees everywhere.
The Satellite mode in the StaySafe app is more than just an update; it’s a lifeline for those working in the most challenging environments, ensuring they are always protected, always connected.
