What are Panic Buttons
Panic Buttons are used to ask for help in distress or need.

Let’s understand the Panic Button with an example of the Mutelcor LoRa Panic Button with Confirmation.

It is part of the network, which consists of Wireless Panic Buttons, LoRa Gateways, and a LoRa Network Server. Gateways are connected to the Network Server via the Internet, such as Wi-Fi, LAN, 4G, or something else. When the Wireless Panic Button is pressed, the device sends a message to the gateway, which is then forwarded to the Network Server.

Many Panic Buttons only send the message, but Mutelcor’s LoRa Panic Button has a unique confirmation feature.

When the backend application receives the alarm, it can trigger a response to the Panic Button that can indicate to the user whether the alarm has been processed using the built-in Buzzer and LED.

Suppose the system does not receive the message. In that case, the Panic Button starts to beep rapidly after 40 seconds, meaning one needs to press the Button again.

This confirmation feature lets you know if help is coming.

Now, Let’s understand the technology behind the Mutelcor Panic Buttons!

LoRa Panic Buttons
LoRa (Long-Range) is a wireless technology that uses a license-free Radio Frequency. Every LoRa Panic Button has a LoRa chip (instead of a SIM card) connected to the LoRa Gateway, which then forwards the message to the Network Server.

Here are a few Advantages of LoRa Panic Buttons:

1. LoRa Panic Buttons have a high coverage compared to other technologies, with a world record of 1,336 km. [1]
2. LoRa Panic Buttons consume much less power than other technologies. Therefore, a device with two AA batteries can last for more than five years.
3. One LoRa Gateway can connect to up to 1,000 LoRa Devices. Use of Panic Buttons at different places

Panic Button for shopping malls
Panic Buttons can be installed in every shop within a shopping mall. One example is the Installation of more than 100 Mutelcor LoRa Panic Buttons in Select Citywalk Mall in New Delhi, India.

Whenever the Panic Button is pressed, a message with the place's name, such as Shops, Restroom or Waiting Area location, is sent to the security personnel or guards. Panic Buttons have helped stop theft incidents, electrical issues, fires, medical emergencies, and customer fights.

Panic Button for schools
For schools, Panic Buttons can be a great way to deal with school fights and school bullying. If there’s one Panic Button in the classroom, playground, or corridor, a person needs to press it quietly; security personnel and teachers can handle the situation.
These Panic Buttons can help save lives from school shootings.

Panic Button for Events
In live events and shows like BTS or Taylor Swift concerts, Panic Buttons can be used to communicate for example, medical emergencies, crowd panic, or security issues. Security personnel can also carry Panic Buttons to call for support.

Panic Button for Senior Residences
Panic Buttons can play a crucial role in Senior Residences. The touch of a button raises the alarm in less than one second and notifies responders in real time on their Smartphones and control room dashboards with locations to seek assistance in an emergency.

Panic Button for the Industrial Sector
In industrial sectors, Panic Buttons are placed at sensitive locations to call for help in emergencies. The Panic Button sends a message with its location so that security personnel can come for help as fast as possible without wasting any time.

Panic Buttons in the industry can also be used to order parts, confirm process steps, and optimize processes in general.
Panic Button for Airports

Panic Buttons play an essential role in airport security. They are strategically placed throughout the airport, helping to avoid significant incidents and giving airport management an extra layer of security.

The security rescue team can rush to the spot in less than 3 minutes and solve the emergency.

Panic Button for hospitals
Hospitals are crucial places where mistakes can not be allowed, similar to Airports. Even a single mishap, fire, or other issue may cause many deaths. Hospitals require a sophisticated security system, with different types of panic buttons needed for various situations.

LoRa Wireless Devices can also be used as a wireless nurse call system or medicine ordering system.

Panic Button for university campuses
Universities with large campuses are hard to monitor. When you have a large campus, monitoring 100s of security cameras is difficult as there's simply too much information coming in.

That’s where Panic Buttons for universities are essential. They just need to be placed at different locations, and with the advanced system, security personnel will know exactly where they need to be without wasting any time.

This is helpful for various medical emergencies or any other critical situation.

Conclusion
Panic Buttons play a crucial role in enhancing security compared to CCTvs alone, which can only record the situation, while Panic Buttons can provide real-time help. Sometimes, we don’t have enough time to call for help in an emergency when help can come by just pressing a button.

We learned how Panic Buttons work and why LoRa Panic Buttons have many advantages, including their high range and low recurring cost.

The Mutelcor LoRa Panic Button, with its unique confirmation feature, helps the sender know if the message has been received. Its two AA-Alkaline Batteries can last more than five years.

We have discussed the use cases of LoRa Panic Buttons in different places, such as shopping malls, schools, hospitals, the industrial sector, and universities. If you want to know more, you can contact us at business@mutelcor.com. We’ll be happy to hear from you!
