The SafetyNet Locator is a real time mapping system for the tracking and recording of the location and movement of radio users in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The system collects and displays updates of movements and change of operational status (using colour coding) of radio users within an area. An important feature of SafetyNet Locator is its ability to automatically centre in on an emergency when the emergency button is pressed on a handset, additionally pinpointing its exact or nearest location using street names or significant buildings.

SafetyNet Locator software takes the position information received to provide a user friendly display of all radio user's locations on a set of maps or schematic diagrams. The SafetyNet Locator display also provides a summary of the status of each radio deployed, e.g. alarms. Additional tools are provided to quickly convert a location to a text or audio message which can be relayed out to other radio users for emergencies or announcements.

Indoor GPS Tracking - SafetyNet Locator On-Line Presentation

Locator Receivers

SafetyNet Indoor Locator requires a Locator Receiver module attached to or fitted inside the radio. The Locator Receiver processes beacon updates and sends position information over the radio to a centrally located decoder. The decoder is fitted with an appropriate modem or fixed mobile radio to decoder data and audio information.

The Locator Receiver is supplied in a number of forms for the radio technology and radio manufacturer used. Options include;

• Internally within the radio

• Externally in conjunction with a speaker microphone (RSM)

• Locator receiver module fitted onto a facilities connector of the radio

Technologies supported; TETRA, DMR, NexEdge

Beacons

The Locator Receiver device is fitted to each radio and this detects users’ movement via strategically placed beacons around a site. The beacons can be fixed in discreet positions to cover all key areas and can be run off internal batteries for 2‐5 years reducing installation overhead. Mains operating beacons are also available.

The beacon positions are determined and installed to meet the security or safety requirements of the site. Furthermore a greater number of beacons lends a greater accuracy of positional information. A full survey kit and remote programmer permits individual beacons to be configured easily without needing to remove the beacons from their original location.

An important feature of the Indoor Locator is its use of the existing radio infrastructure. Spare capacity on the radio channel is used for sending updates in short data messages thereby minimizing extra expense of additional data back haul capacity.

Outdoor positioning over wide areas is provided by radio units equipped with GPS receivers. Radio user positions are updated to SafetyNet and can be plotted onto maps.

Hytera SafetyNet Locator Receiver Module

Product Details

The SafetyNet Locator receiver is a software package providing a graphical location display of a radio fleet covering both indoor and outdoor environments.

The Hytera digital radio handset range can be fitted with a detachable locator receiver module which utilises the handset to transmit locational information to a SafetyNet Locator system.

How It Works

The module detects a radio users movements via strategically placed beacons around a site.

The Locator Reciever processes the beacon updates and sends position information over the radio to a centrally located decoder. The decoder is fitted with an appropriate modem or fixed radio to decode data and audio information.

The Locator Reciever is supplied in a number of forms for the radio technology and radio manufacturer used. Options include:

Internally fitted within the radio
Externally in conjunction with a speaker microphone (RSM)
Locator reciever module fitted onto a faciities connector of the radio.

Technologies supported:

The module is interchangable between DMR and TETRA systems when suitably programmed.

An important feature of the indoor locator reciever is its ability to use the existing radio infrastructure. Any spare capcity on the radio channel is used for sending updates in short data messages, minimising extra expence of additional backhaul capacity.

Product Details

SafetyNet Locator is one of the SafetyNet Digital suite of software programs to access audio and data information from radio equipment. The software is PC based and provides control room facilities for managing and monitoring all audio across the radio network being managed.

The software takes position information received to provide a user friendly display of all radio user locations on a set of maps and schematic diagrams. Tools are also provided for recording all audio, dispatch facilities, lone worker protection schemes, text messaging and handling personal alarms and general status updates. It also handles all location update information which is passed to SafetyNet Locator.

SafetyNet Locator mapping options can show the position of subscribers on a number of different map formats which are pre-loaded at configuration as tiles. As images are held on the computer permanently, an internet connection is not required. The effortless ability of being able to switch between indoor and outdoor mapping is one of SafetyNet Locator's many benefits.

The users can be presented with location information on a map or image types including:

• Ordinance Survey Street maps (United Kingdom)

• GPS maps exported from OpenStreetMaps or similar

• Overhead photographs

• Schematics or CAD generated 3D images

• Annotated drawings

For outdoor GPS locations, a precise position is shown on the maps within the ranges specified, for indoor location users will be shown within a boundary or zone defined on the appropriate map.
