Glovent offers South Africa a new SOS Suite solution

Glovent, a local South African company has unveiled SOS Suite solution which offers three different ways of summoning emergency assistance at the touch of a button.

Glovent’s mobile emergency alert system delivers three customised layers of community resident protection.

The free first-level Individual SOS feature enables users to designate their own emergency contacts to receive immediate SOS SMS, email and push notifications.

The second-level Community SOS feature enables designated, opted-in community guardians (such as your estate or area security guards) to be alerted in the event of an emergency, and a central monitoring terminal can be added to this solution.

The third-level National SOS feature offers a comprehensive emergency response for those seeking a broader safety net, anywhere in South Africa. Once a panic is initiated, the system notifies a National Operations Centre which responds appropriately.

“The advantage of a smartphone-based panic button lies in the fact that research by Morgan Stanley shows that 91% of adults globally keep their smartphones within arm’s reach. With SA now in its third decade of cellphone use, most people are likely to be familiar with smartphones,” said Anton Potgieter, CEO of Glovent CMS.
