5.4 Chiptech GO mPERS Device
GO is a mobile personal emergency response system (mPERS) with cellular and global
positioning system (GPS) technology that can be used at home or away. When activated (by
pressing both buttons together), it sends an alert followed by GPS location data to the
monitoring centre. Voice messages and coloured lighting around the outer edge of GO keep
the user informed as their alert for help is being sent. They can speak to an operator over
the handsfree speakerphone.
GO can be paired with a SEVEN base unit, utilising the same Pearl bi-directional RF
technology. If an alert is sent when GO is in range of the base unit, it will report to the
monitoring centre that the user is ‘home’, so they can be quickly located. The operator can
speak to the user over the GO speakerphone.
5.4.1 Reporting Redundancy
When learned into SEVEN, GO will always send an alert using its own cellular system
first. In the unlikely event that GO cannot communicate with the monitoring centre
(typically because of a lack of cellular coverage), then GO will hand over the control
to the base unit when within range. The SEVEN will pre-alarm and follow its
standard reporting process. The GO speakerphone system will stay active in case it
can be contacted when the cellular connection restores.
