‘Powerful’ lone worker protection

Skygd, a Swedish provider of lone working solutions, and Atus Systems, a UK provider of paging and on-site staff alarm systems, have announced a UK branding partnership under which Atus has branded the Skygd Personal Safety Alarm product as Atus Defender, and added BS8484 compliance to the Android service.

Atus explained: “The unique lone worker protection system with indoor positioning is based on a modern cloudbased architecture for alarms and associated services. The system’s powerful construction and flexible structure make it fast and secure, so it can be easily deployed without additional costly on-site infrastructure. It can be self-managed and used easily by alarm response centres (ARCs) and in-house control rooms.” 

Darren Swindlehurst, Atus Systems MD, added: “Skygd has developed and owns all the intellectual property rights to a unique indoor positioning solution that pinpoints exactly where an alarm has been triggered inside a building, positioning us perfectly to jointly deliver a compliant solution to our customers. The Skygd solution has been providing lone worker protection and indoor positioning to Swedish customers since 2008, and we are delighted to be able offer this powerful solution to the UK market.” 

“Providing lone worker protection and emergency response to those in distress is not a challenge exclusive to Sweden; our unique patented solution and new British Standard compliance addresses this,” explained Martin Reidevall, CEO of Skygd AB. “Skygd is proud to now be able to address these same challenges in the UK through this partnership.”
