MyDevices' No Dead Zone panic button technology eliminates the dead zone problem by combining cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRaWAN protocols to provide comprehensive coverage across the entire property no matter how challenging the physical environment.

In particular, the integration of the LoRaWAN technology into the panic button solution makes it possible to send long range, low power, and low data bandwidth transmissions from hard to reach locations like underground, in concrete, or dense urban environments.

Combining the built-in security of the LoRaWAN protocol with Microsoft's Azure IoT Hub, the No Dead Zone panic button solution provides secure and reliable communication between the IoT application and the devices it manages with per-device authentication, built-in device management, and scaled provisioning.

"The whole point of a panic button solution is that a lone worker can push the button when they don't feel safe, and their exact location is transmitted to security or administration for help."

"We evaluated several other well-known panic button solutions for our 227-room hotel before choosing the myDevices' technology," said Bret Esbrandt, GM of Moody National Companies, a major hotel in Lyndhurst, NJ. "Quite frankly, we were surprised that the myDevices' panic button solution was more affordable than the competition, yet the features were superior. Most importantly, we now provide our staff with buttons that work throughout the property, including the dead zones, enhancing their safety."
