Orion powers Freeus mobile personal emergency response system products.
Using Orion, Freeus mPERS devices send both voice and location data simultaneously to the emergency call center, allowing users to talk to care specialists and receive help around the clock, at home and away. If a Belle user is outside the cellular coverage area, Orion enables devices to dial 911 directly using other compatible area networks.
Features of Orion:
- Location-Based Services (LBS): LBS is technology that determines user location. Orion incorporates exclusive WiFi location technology into Belle and Belle+. It also utilizes GPS technology in Belle+, which enables caregivers and emergency care specialists to locate Belle+ devices. Devices can be located online or with a free mobile application.
- Home Indicator: Orion’s proprietary algorithm determines whether the mPERS user is likely at home, enabling quicker dispatch by care specialists.
- Alert Notifications: Orion sends automatic text message and email notifications to Freeus device users and caregivers for low battery and power off conditions.
- e911 Technology: Orion features patented location technology that allows care specialists to transfer Belle users directly to 911 operators for phase II locations, and then reconnects the user with specialists when the 911 call ends.
Orion seamlessly communicates with AvantGuard Monitoring Centers to ensure that when the button is pressed on a Freeus device, a competent and kind voice is available around the clock to provide assistance and reassure mPERS users.
Both of AvantGuard’s facilities are UL-Listed, exceeding all of the Underwriters Laboratories stringent requirements for alarm monitoring facilities set forth in UL 827. AvantGuard maintains two central station monitoring facilities to protect users under any circumstance.
The AvantGuard technology includes:
- Auto-start engine driven generators with multiple fuel sources
- Redundant wide-area network circuits connecting the facilities
- Mirrored SurGard System III receivers
- 5-way redundancy between AvantGuard’s Stages by SGS automation servers
