Next-generation lone working devices

Connexion2 has announced the recent development of its Identicom 8 Series which includes more features for the same cost as the earlier 7 Series devices.

As with earlier versions, the new Identicom devices are styled as an identity badge for discreet wear and use, and have been designed and manufactured entirely in the UK; being British-made ensures a tighter control is maintained on quality as well as allowing Connexion2 to react faster to market demands.

Connexion2 reported that the 8 Series devices include a number of unique features including configurable one- or two-way audio depending on risk profile, a 32-bit ARM processor platform for ‘over the air’ (OTA) software upgrades, and the latest Sirf IV GPS technology which delivers a faster time to first location fix.

The new devices also now include automatic ‘man down’ detection as standard to give employees working remotely or in difficult environments additional protection in case of a slip, fall or unexpected health problem.
