CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 9, 2012) - One of Canada's top three wireless communications and cable companies is the first major telecom to select Blackline GPS (TSX VENTURE:BLN) ("Blackline") Loner® safety monitoring solutions for deployment within its wireless operations group. Their selection of the Bluetooth-enabled Loner FDU product with True Fall Detection® technology combined with Blackline's Loner Mobile app, insures the company will meet or exceed provincial and federal legislative regulations for lone worker safety while leveraging their existing smartphone hardware.
"Loner FDU monitors the safety of wireless technician while Loner Mobile installed on a smartphone manages communication, automated employee check-in, and location reporting," said Clark Swanson, President of Blackline GPS. "The selection of our Loner solutions by this wireless provider highlights the safety monitoring value we deliver to organizations of any size, across all industries. We are pleased to have won our first major deployment in the telecom industry with a Canadian leader."
Loner FDU utilizes patented technology to detect when a worker has fallen, the most common cause of injury and immobilization for worker injuries. The device is also designed with the Blackline signature "personal fire alarm" emergency alert lever that can be pulled if a worker is in distress. Unique to Blackline's safety product is an immediate man-down notification which alerts a safety monitor if a worker has collapsed for any reason such as injury, stroke, or heart attack.
