EMS Technologies Partners with Teletouch to Introduce the Lifeguard System

The LifeGuard solution uses EMS's PDT-100 satellite data terminal to send a distress call to a company dispatcher. It pinpoints the worker's location and automatically provides vital information on the worker's medical history, giving the dispatcher the necessary information for notifying emergency personnel.

San Antonio - Oct 22, 2003
EMS Technologies, Inc. announced Monday at the American Trucking Association Management Conference and Exhibition, a solution partnership with Teletouch Communications Inc. that will introduce the latest in lone-worker wireless mobile communications, The LifeGuard System. The system targets lone workers, including remote utility personnel, law-enforcement officers and maintenance workers.

The system allows workers to immediately communicate to their dispatch departments in a life-threatening emergency by sending distress signals manually or automatically if a worker is immobilized.

The LifeGuard solution uses EMS's PDT-100 satellite data terminal to send a distress call to a company dispatcher. It pinpoints the worker's location and automatically provides vital information on the worker's medical history, giving the dispatcher the necessary information for notifying emergency personnel.

The PDT-100 has an interactive two-way messaging mode that allows for real-time messaging. The PDT-100 also supports the Broadcast Messaging Model, which is used to broadcast messages to all radios within pre-defined groups.

"After careful evaluation, we felt that EMS's PDT-100 was the right terminal for our LifeGuard solution, which will allow organizations to provide a higher level of safety and security to their lone workers while generating greater efficiencies," said Teletouch LifeGuard Product Manager Debbie Stewart. "We have been extremely pleased with how easy it has been to work with EMS and with the PDT-100."

"EMS is taking an aggressive position in the application market with the PDT-100," said James McMillan, EMS's director, Sales and Marketing - Land Mobile Products. "The LifeGuard solution from Teletouch is but one of many innovative solutions that have been built and ported to the PDT-100."
