EkoTek from Multitone has been designed to offer peace of mind as a discreet staff communication and monitoring system. Members of your staff who work either by themselves or in challenging environments, for example, an acute mental health in-patient units, can summon immediate assistance from a dedicated support team should they feel at risk.
EkoTek safeguards workers by instantly delivering critical alarm and location information at the press of a button in order to initiate a response for assistance. The system operates on a reliable, radio-based mesh network that transmits both the location and alert level of raised alarms. Whether triggered at fixed alarm points or though a discreet, portable personal safety alarm, alerts are sent directly to designated responders. If an alert is not acknowledged, it will automatically escalate.
The system includes a variety of alarm units such as wearables, including fobs and pagers for staff, and ceiling-mounted fixed repeater units with alarm buttons. Both the alarm fobs and pagers are waterproof with an IP67 rating. Portable alarm units feature separate buttons for assistance and emergency calls and can be configured with automatic fall detection and dead-man alarms that require user acknowledgement. The system also sends low battery alerts to ensure uninterrupted operation.
EkoTek Alarm Process
EkoTek is an onsite two-way wireless system that triggers alarms through a button press, fall detection, or lack of user response. When an alarm is activated, the nearest repeater picks it up and sends the location and alarm details via a mesh network to the EkoTek hub.
The alarm, along with the type, location, and device ID, is then forwarded to a preconfigured group of responders, such as secruity or first aiders, who can acknowledge or escalate the alarm. These responders can also send their own alets and receive updates from the system administrator.
EkoTek Features

The blue button offers a second non-crictical alert to that of the emergency alert.
Snatch Cord
During an incident, pulling the snatch cord provides an instant alarm should the device be removed from the wearer.
Dead Man
