An Overview of React Mobile's LORA Panic Button and Beacon Solution

In this article, you will learn how the React Mobile Workplace Safety Platform works using our LORA Panic Buttons that connect to a LORAWAN network, along with the key components of the Platform.

The LORA Panic Button workplace safety platform includes three core components that allow a team member to immediately request assistance and transmit their location in an emergency. These components are: the LORA Panic Button, the Bluetooth Beacon, and the Client Portal and Responder Application.

The LORA Panic Button:
This device utilizes the LORAWAN network, enabling long-range, low-power communication even in challenging environments. It is designed for high reliability and extended battery life, with an average operational life of up to 15 days on a single charge. The device can be quickly recharged via QCY smart watch charging cable or in the charging case.

The Bluetooth Beacon:

The beacons that are installed throughout the property by the React Mobile team are used to effectively capture the geolocation in the event of an emergency. They are Bluetooth and battery operated, with a battery life of up to 5 years which can be easily replaced when the battery is nearing its end of life.

The Client Portal and Responder Application:

The Client Portal can be accessed from any browser, and the application is compatible with both Apple and Android devices. From the Portal, you will be able to monitor the health of your system and will receive real time communication and location updates when an alert is in progress.

The three key components effectively communicate when an alert is activated on site. The following stages occur to summon the response team to an incident:

Stage One - Panic Button Alert Activation

The React Mobile LORA panic button allows a team member to quickly trigger a silent alert in the event of an emergency. To activate the alert, the red button on the side of the device needs to be pressed five times in rapid succession or be pressed and held for 5 seconds.

Stage Two - Location Information

The LORA panic button communicates to the Bluetooth beacons to determine the location of the nearest beacon. The Bluetooth beacons are named to provide geolocation information within the property when an alert is triggered.

Stage Three - Alert Notification

The LORA panic button then summons immediate on-scene assistance from the internal response team by connecting to the system via the LORAWAN network. Additionally, the LoRa button also sends the location information to the Client Portal, where help is directed to the alert location.

Stage Four - Emergency Response

Once the notification is received, the response team can communicate internally using either the Client Portal or Responder Application, as they address the alert and respond to the situation.
