PageOne Communications has today launched its Responder smartphone app for BlackBerry, Apple iOS and Android devices. The Responder app extends two-way paging’s core alerting features to smartphone to provide a separate secure messaging channel. With pop-up and audible alerting, a separate inbox and two-way reply options, the app aims to convey critical and real-time operational and emergency messages.
“The ever increasing amount of email and SMS messages received on mobile devices means critical operational messages can often be missed”, says Nigel Gray, director, PageOne Communications. “Responder separates and elevates operational messaging and alerting, and leverages two-way and GPS capability to assist in the real-time management and direction of field resource.”
As well as supporting GPS location services, Responder incorporates a status update facility that allows staff to indicate their current availability, allowing more intelligent, targeted messaging, for example only sending to those staff currently available, or directing staff nearest to an incident.
The Responder app also offers optional lone worker features to provide additional support to field-based operatives. As well as an SOS alert button, the lone worker mode delivers a periodic welfare-check alert which must be acknowledged by the user, without which an SOS alert including a GPS location is automatically generated.
