IMPULSE Wireless PTT devices (RPH4, MPH3 and VM3s) feature a prominent SOS button. The VM3 also offers inputs which can be configured to trigger an emergency, such as with a duress button or footswitch. There are two ways which SOS functionality can be configured:
- SOS via the IMPULSE Wireless Lone Worker/Man Down full-featured GPS system
- Provides optional hot-mic functionality on a specified talkgroup
- Offers priority and pre-emption
- Allows for manual SOS button alerting
- Allows for automated Man Down/Lone Worker functionality
- Allows for advanced alerting such as geofencing, etc.
- Incurs additional monthly cost outside of the standard PTT services
- SOS button can be configured so you must hold it for a specified duration before the alert is triggered
- GPIO outputs available from VM3s when emergencies are triggered (additional hardware may be required) to signal emergency to other equipment
- SOS via the IMPULSE Wireless PTT platform
- No additional monthly costs
- Provides basic “emergency call” functionality
- SOS press initiates an emergency call on a designated talkgroup
- Emergency call remains open until the initiator clears the alert by pressing and holding the SOS button for the specified duration
- Offers priority and pre-emption
- Plays a short klaxon siren on all recipient devices when a new emergency is initiated
- SOS button can be configured so you must hold it for a specified duration before the alert is triggered
- GPIO outputs available from VM3s when emergencies are triggered (additional hardware may be required) to signal emergency to other equipment
