Bluetooth is a technology that allows devices to communicate and share data over short distances only without wires. Bluetooth is great for when you are within a relatively short distance from your home such as outside in the backyard, next door at your neighbours or checking your mail box. Bluetooth location provides an accurate and fast solution to your location during an emergency in and around the vicinity of your home only.

Inside the charging station (or Home Beacon) that you received with your alarm is a Bluetooth 5.0 beacon. Your address can be pre-programmed into the Home Beacon by inputting the latitude and longitude co-ordinates of your home and we pair (or connect) the alarm to the Bluetooth Beacon so that the 2 devices are always connected.

Bluetooth (sometimes referred to as BLE by us) also has less power consumption than other location tools, such as GPS and/or wifi. This is one way we are able to get the Live Life Alarm to last as long as 4-5 days between recharges. Our testing indicates that Bluetooth can be relied upon to provide fast positioning when the alarm is within 25 metres of the Bluetooth beacon (Home Beacon). Once the alarm is outside this range, the Bluetooth capability will not work. However, the alarm will attempt to obtain location via GPS or wifi, which are great alternatives.

Wi-Fi location tracking is a geolocation system that uses the entire Wi-Fi infrastructure (phones, tablets, laptops, and routers) as Wi-Fi access points to determine a device’s location. Wi-Fi location tracking is a good system for geolocation whenever the Global Positioning System (GPS) can’t get the job done or is likely to take longer than Wi-Fi to fix a location. For example, GPS can’t always locate your device when you’re indoors, as the signal coming from GPS satellites may be weak or blocked by the roof or walls. Wi-Fi works by comparing the list of Wi-Fi networks near you to a known list of access points and their locations. In your Live Life Alarm is a wifi chip module and in the case of an emergency, the Live Life Alarm will look for wifi access points to calculate your position. If a wifi location solution can be found faster than using GPS, your wifi location will be reported on Google Maps to your emergency contacts. However, the alarm will always look for a Bluetooth location solution first.

If you find yourself in an area such as a rural setting or out in the country, there is likely to be less wifi access points than in a built up area (such as cities and metropolitan areas). In cases such as these, the Live Life Alarm will more likely resolve to a GPS position for your location.

In the remote possibility a wifi position is reported whilst you are in a rural or country setting,  it is possible the accuracy of your location could be less than ideal.

The LiveLife Mobile Alarm has built-in GPS & GLONAS technology that it can use to fix the location of the pendant with an accuracy range of approximately 2 metres. In order for the GPS functions to operate it requires a line-of-sight connection to satellites in the sky. In some cases, the line-of-sight required to enable and/or operate the GPS may take a few seconds or longer (approximately up to 2 minutes in rare cases) to receive the signal and determine the co-ordinates of the device’s location. In cases where there is no available line-of-sight connection to satellites in the sky (and the GPS function cannot operate), the 4GX Live Life Alarm attempts to obtain location using wifi signal, which is a great solution for when the alarm is out of GPS range but in a relatively built up area – cities, surrounding metropolitan areas and large towns.

If the pendant can fix a wifi location faster than a GPS location then it will report its wifi location rather than GPS location. Underground carparks, lifts, concrete buildings, tunnels and other constructions can block the GPS signal from satellites to the pendant. Live Life Alarms cannot guarantee the device will be able to show its GPS location at all times and the wearer/user must be mindful and aware of the restrictions and/or limitations of GPS.

It is possible that if a wearer of the pendant is in a location where there is no GPS signal, there may also be no available 4GX, 4G or 3G mobile signal meaning the location function of the pendant will not operate till the wearer moves to an area where there is available mobile network coverage. The device is designed with redundancy (Bluetooth, wifi and/or GPS location). This means the device will continue to operate and use all available options when GPS is not available in respect to obtaining location in the case of an emergency. Additionally, the automatic wifi location of the alarm will normally be shown in circumstances where Bluetooth or GPS position is not available or if a wifi location solution is faster.
