A Push for Employee Protection - 23-Feb-09
A new mobile service, Push to Experience (PTX), which helps protect workers at risk, has been launched by InTechnology plc. The new technology enables organisations to comply better with Health and Safety legislation and the Corporate Manslaughter Act.
PTX is seen as a natural successor to traditional 2-way radio (PMR) services, utilising the global GSM network and low-cost handsets to dramatically improve coverage and allow everyone using the service to communicate cheaply and effectively. PTX incorporates several services in one package, including Push to Talk (PTT), Push to Locate and Push to Alert.
The product is initially being launched into the ‘lone worker’ market place where workers may have to carry several different portable devices, including a mobile phone, radio and other devices. This is no longer necessary because PTX enabled handsets are highly integrated communication devices combining the functionality of a mobile phone with the instant communication of a 2-way radio. PTX also has almost unlimited geographic coverage which makes it a perfect solution for organisations with field staff, especially those who may be deployed in potentially dangerous situations.
Daniel Reeves, Product Marketing Manager, Mobile Services for InTechnology said. “It provides security for lone workers with constant communications, panic buttons, and GPS tracking. These GPS enabled PTT phones mean that the exact location of the user can be identified within seconds.”
Through Push to Locate, companies can visually track, in real time, the location of a GPS enabled PTT phone anywhere in the world to within a few metres.
