Yes. We can provide better indoor penetration because we use cellular IoT 4G protocols (LTE-M and NB-IoT) known to have better penetration and coverage performance than any other wireless technologies. We have also different telecom roaming agreements thanks to our eSIM global connectivity provider. That way, even in limited covered area, you are likely to get at least one operator.  Our equipment can also communicate using LoRaWAN.

We currently cover most of European countries. We expect Noth America coverage in 2020.

It really depends on where you are and what is the environment around you. The rule of thumb is that you will never get less than 3 m accuracy achieved by GNSS (GPS and/or other satellites constellation) or by BLE beacons. In worst cases situation, cellular triangulation may be used and accuracy is close to hundreds of meters if not kilometers (but sometimes it's better than nothing).

No. We do not track workers. We don't want to do it, we haven't implemented this feature and in any case it's forbidden by European GDPR since May 2018. Worker location is only transmitted in case of emergency. And above all, we just cannot do it technically speaking as with a 350 mAh battery (about 10 times less than a smartphone battery capacity) capavcity we target several weeks of battery life.

Our safety pod has been designed to handle harsh and severe industrial environment. Thanks to IP68 and IK06 resistance, we can handle most of industrial situation. It can also resist to UV and most of chemical product. Cold and hot environment have also been taken into account in our design.

No ! We dont' need any smartphone. Smartphone is unlikely to save any life and even sometimes it can be the root cause of occupational accident. Most of our customers are getting rid of smartphone in working environment.

Locating our technologies on safety shoes/boots has been driven by several requirements. For instance, we had to ensure that the protection device is always worn. We also had to be at the maximum distance of head to limit EMF impact on the body.

Yes. Our safety pod can be mostly mounted to any safety shoes or boots on the market.

Charging wirelessly the equipment takes about 7 hours. We have purposely decided to charge slowly in order to increase the lithium ion cell lifespan.

Our Safety Pod proposes safety features : Panic Button, Man-Donw Detection & Notification, Mass Emergency Notification....

Yes, we have demonstrated that we can most of the time establish a communication link in very harsh telecom environement, including confined spaces. Intellinium has been developpong a very specific expertise about how to connect constrained IoT in very complex environement.

Ensuring that a smart PPE is safe for end-user health is top priority for Intellinium. That's the reason why we have decided :

1. Not to implement any wireless technologies neither gateway on hard hat and/or nearby end-user head. As far as we are concerned, we wouldn't have been able to demonstrate that our product is safe for use if we had choose a place close the end-user head.
2. To use wireless IoT protocols which are know to draw little energy, therefore meaning that very little is sent back to end-user.
3. To place our product as close as possible to  the floor (cf #1).
4. To limit data exchange as much as possible. Said differently, our equipment sleeps most of the time compared to a mobile phone and/other competing equipment.

On average, it takes about 45 s for a watcher to get a notification about an alert. Of course, this value can greatly vary from one place to another place. Minimum is probably around 15 s and maximum is about 3 mn.

Yes, our equipment has been engineered to be veru resistance against water, dust, shocks, impact, fall, chemical products....
