Key Features
Increasingly a legal requirement, not a nicety
Panic-button provision for lone and vulnerable staff has moved from voluntary to mandated in a widening set of jurisdictions, including Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, Georgia and Pennsylvania, and cities including Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Oakland, Sacramento and Miami Beach. Requirements differ, so the local rule is what matters.
Hotel industry commitments
The American Hotel & Lodging Association's 5-Star Promise, announced in 2018, committed participating brands to providing employee safety devices alongside training and policy changes. Many major hotel groups signed up, which is why this is now standard procurement in hospitality.
Location precise enough to be useful
GPS gives outdoor position, and self-installed Bluetooth beacons provide room-level location indoors. A distress alert that only says which building the person is in does not help; one that says which room does.
Push-to-talk voice, not just an alert
Group and one-to-one push-to-talk voice over 4G LTE and wifi, working between the Relay+ device, a smartphone app and a desktop dashboard — so the response can be coordinated rather than only triggered.
Geofencing and broadcast alerts
Boundaries can be configured with notifications on crossing, and broadcast or emergency alerts can be pushed to all staff at once.
Practical hardware
Beacons with a Bluetooth 5.0 chipset, roughly 25 feet of configurable indoor range, multiple mounting options, replaceable standard AA batteries and two-plus years of battery life — designed to be installed and forgotten rather than maintained.
Multilingual
A translate feature covering dozens of languages, which matters in hospitality and facilities teams where staff do not share a first language.
One dashboard to run it
Devices, users and communications are viewed and managed from the web, with nationwide LTE connectivity managed by For2Fi behind it.
