Whereable Technologies will partner with security company GEO to enhance first-ever personal security wearable RiskBand
Whereable Technologies LLC's inaugural product RiskBand, the first wearable, live-monitored personal safety device that does not require a connection to a cell phone has partnered with GEOS Safety Solutions, a global leader in security and personal safety, the company announced today.
The five year deal provides RiskBand with a world-class emergency monitoring and response team that can transmit GPS location information, photos and two-way audio whenever a RiskBand wearer activates the device. As RiskBand begins recording and transmitting pertinent information, GEOS' emergency response coordination team will hear, see and assess the situation. The response coordinators will contact local authorities or launch the appropriate response typically in about a minute, the company says.
"GEOS has partnered with Whereable Technologies because we firmly believe that RiskBand is the missing link in personal security," said GEOS CEO Mark Garver, a globally recognized security expert. "This product is a game-changer, and as a leading safety and security solution provider, we want to be front and center in this personal security revolution."
Garver is board-certified in homeland security, intelligence analysis and dignitary/executive protection. The agreement between RiskBand and GEOS will extend to other RiskBand and GEOS products.
"RiskBand is a groundbreaking product, but it is only as good as its Emergency Response Team. With GEOS, that means it's the best," said Whereable Technologies President and CEO Jim Van Law. "Anyone who wears the device can feel secure in the knowledge that the world's top emergency response professionals have their back if anything happens."
A RiskBand wearer can use the device to get help in any type of emergency, including crime, fire, injury or accident – whether at home or traveling, just about anywhere in the world and in more than 200 languages and dialects.
