SecuraTrac introduces MobileDefender Model S 

SecuraTrac, a provider of mobile health and safety solutions focused on senior safety, employee well-being and the healthcare industry based in Hermosa Beach, California, has announced the launch of its next-generation mobile personal emergency response system (mPERS) pendant. Called the MobileDefender Model S, the safety pendant helps ensure the safety of those who use the MD-S and the SecuraTrac platform.    

According to a news release from SecuraTrac, companies that dispatch employees into unknown environments and situations can rely on the device to relay information about employee locations while providing a connection to help if an emergency occurs. The device has a variety of applications in the recycling industry, including drivers, workers in material recovery facilities and on demolition sites.    

In addition to location technologies, the Model S also offers a built-in Fall Advisory capability. It can detect horizontal and vertical movement, so if an employee falls on the job or is knocked over, he or she does not have to initiate a call for help the device will trigger automatically. The Model S leverages existing SecuraTrac cloud-based location technology, adding the ability for central stations to respond to potential accidents.   

To improve battery lifespan, the Model S was designed with a new Wake-on SOS feature. Wake-on SOS gives this small, mobile PERS device the ability to last over 30 days on a single charge because the device is off until the SOS button is activated. This preserves the battery while enabling the device to turn on, locate, transmit its location and make the emergency phone call after the SOS is activated.    

“There is no other product in the mPERS space capable of preserving battery life with a sleep mode like the Model S,” says Chris Holbert, CEO of SecuraTrac. “This plus all of the other great features in one, the small package is a game-changer. Not only can companies rest assured that they know where their human assets are at all times in the field, but companies and employees can also feel empowered about safety.”
