GPS emergency alarm wristwatch
05 February 2009
An innovative emergency alarm watch with GPS tracking and an integrated mobile phone has been launched by Masternaut Three X. Designed as a discreet personal protection solution, the robust and waterproof LoKate wrist watch incorporates a miniature mobile phone and GPS receiver with a panic button allowing mobile workers to alert help discreetly if in danger.

Using the in-built tracker linked to the Internet, the alarm location is immediately pinpointed on Microsoft Virtual Earth maps or aerial photography by a dedicated control centre that monitors the user. The control centre can then alert the emergency services or another member of staff that assistance is required.
Additional reassurance is provided as the watch doubles as a mobile phone offering voice communication.
LoKate runs over the Masternaut vehicle and mobile asset satellite tracking service with voice and data communications handled by a standard GSM/GPRS network. The wrist watch allows them to keep in touch with HQ at the touch of a button. Wearers can be tracked in real-time using any Internet browser enabling office-based managers and support personnel to monitor field-based colleagues.
