Introduction
The App provides both individual and team situational awareness via a mapping overlay. In addition, the App provides secure text messages with team members. Users in distress can activate a two-step SOS to summon emergency assistance and, when SOS is declared, team members are notified of the user in distress.
Users can send messages to one or more team members, view individual and team tracking data, obtain information on device status, and remotely configure specific devices. In emergency situations, user can easily identify their closest assets and deploy them efficiently.
In conjunction with the EVERYWHERE Hub, the App supports EVERYWHERE’s Intelligent Routing platform, leveraging the most efficient network for communications back to the EVERYWHERE Hub, providing always connected communications.

When a team member's device enters or exits an SOS, a notification is automatically sent to all other team members. Team members can acknowledge, view the person's location or message the user.
Team members will also be notified when a user exits SOS emergency mode. Acknowledgement of the notification assures the distressed user that someone on their team has seen the cancellation. |
