Product Use and Deployment
The LifeLocator® system uses ultra wideband (UWB) technology to vastly improve the odds that rescue, not just recovery, will be the ultimate outcome of disaster situations like building collapses, avalanches, flash floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters.
Ultra wideband technology combined with well-thought-out hardware and software bring users of LifeLocator a huge list of product features and advantages including:
- The detection and location of motion as slight as shallow breathing, within 30 seconds
- Detection through steel, brick, concrete... virtually any material common to building collapses or natural disasters
- Large field of detection
- Wireless deployment
- Ease of mobility over a site
- Rugged PDA-based unit receptor
- Low-power requirements
- Little or no maintenance
- Easily-updateable “firmware” over hard-wired or wireless networks
- Unaffected by odors or other bio-sensitivities that affect canine detection
- Operation in noisy environments, unlike sonar detection
These features and advantages result in:
- Ease of use and deployment
- Faster detection of life
- Maximum effectiveness in adverse physical conditions
- No interruption of sound-generating rescue efforts, resulting in maximum effectiveness in minimal time
- Cost benefits from robust nature of system
- Intuitive operation requiring minimal training and, most importantly...
More lives saved!
