News: Connexion2 launches Identicom mobile

Connexion2, The Rotherham company that uses innovative technology solutions and associated services to improve the safety and productivity of lone workers, has annouced the launch of a new product.

Identicom mobile, builds on the success of Connexion2's Identicom system that is deliberately designed to look and feel like a normal ID cardholder and allows lone workers to raise an alarm, make an emergency phone call or send a text message.

The new system can be installed on to a lone worker's Blackberry device enabling them to obtain the necessary help if they become a victim of verbal abuse, attack or they feel their safety could be compromised.

Although Identicom mobile is available as a stand-alone product, it can also be integrated with Connexion2's new Online Tracking Application. This allows a lone worker to benefit from improved safety and their manager to better facilitate operations through the provision of detailed location tracking data.

The online tracking application can plot the users "breadcrumb" trail of movement and direction, and has the facility to view a user's location at street view level.

Craig Swallow, CEO of Connexion2 said: "Identicom mobile enables a wider scope of lone workers to benefit from peace of mind knowing that their employer is their taking duty of care seriously and that should the worst happen, they are not alone."

Connexion2 was originally launched in 2004 and has grown from 14 members of staff to a workforce of 27 at their offices in Dinnington, Rotherham.

Last year, the NHS selected the company to issue 30,000 lone worker personnel with the Identicom system.
