MobilarmCrewsafeisawirelesssafetynetworkdesigned toimprovetheworkplace

safety of commercial mariners by keeping track of the crew at work at all times. A

'meshed'seriesofwireless routersautomaticallydetectsemergenciesinvolving

Eachemployee carries a small transceiver Tag,

whichremainsconnectedtothenetworkvia

raises an alarm if the connection is not re-

establishedwithinafewseconds.Therefore,ifa

crew member goes overboard, the signal is lost and

an alarm is raised. Each Tag also features a duress

Anybreak in a Tag's signal, for any reason,raises an alarm. If a Tag is damaged,its

battery dies or if a person moves out of range of the network, an alarm is raised. This

ensuresthatco-workersareimmediatelyawareofa possible emergencyandemployees
