03.08.2010
(Framingham, MA) – March 5, 2010 – Rave Mobile Safety, the leading provider of software solutions for individual, group and public safety, today announced that Alarm New England, Shiver Security Services and a number of other Sonitrol National Dealers Association (SNDA) members have added the award-winning Rave Guardian to their suite of security solutions. Through the companies’ partnership, the GPS-enabled Rave Guardian personal safety tool is available to new and existing SNDA customers across 9 states including Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. These customers can now use their mobile phones to instantly connect with and be monitored by licensed security professionals, if and when they feel unsafe.
“Rave Guardian is a cutting edge safety solution that utilizes the cell phones already owned and carried by each and every Sonitrol customer,” said Doug Curtiss, President of Alarm New England and Chair of the SNDA new products committee.
“The addition of Rave Guardian to our offerings represents the perfect marriage between Rave’s best-of-breed technology and SNDA members’ best-in-class 24x7 professional monitoring capabilities,” added Chip Shiver, President of Shiver Security Systems.
“We’re excited to be partnering with security industry pioneers who stand out for their advanced technologies as well as their outstanding monitoring services,” said Tom Axbey, Chief Executive Officer, Rave Mobile Safety. “The addition of Rave Guardian to their existing state-of-the-art security solutions is a natural extension, which allows customers to increase employee safety in and out of the workplace.”
Rave Guardian works on all cell phones and wireless carriers. Users sign-up through a quick online process that registers their phone number along with a personal photo, physical description, pertinent health information, emergency contacts and more. When a user activates Guardian, trained security professionals will instantly be provided this information – along with location information for most major wireless carriers -- to facilitate a rapid, personalized response.
Guardian can be used in “active” mode through a pre-programmed Guardian “panic button” that instantly informs the central station that the individual is threatened or having a medical crisis. Alternatively, it can also be used in “passive” mode, whereby a user activates the Guardian timer via their cell phone to indicate that the central station should monitor their safe arrival to their destination.
