iWOW Technology partners with SPTel to expand wireless emergency alert system

This extends emergency assistance to seniors in public rental flats.

Singapore-listed tech firm specialising in integrated wireless IoT solutions iWOW Technology has partnered with telecom and digital solutions firm SPTel to support the expansion of the wireless Alert Alarm System (AAS) initiative, extending emergency assistance to seniors in public rental flats across Singapore.

The deployment builds on iWOW’s wireless AAS pilot in 2019 and marks the first use of SPTEl’s island-wide LoRaWAN network to facilitate emergency assistance.

The wireless AAS allows seniors to receive timely assistance during emergencies through alert buttons in their homes that connect to a 24/7 emergency hotline. To ensure reliable and resilient connectivity, SPTel will provide its island-wide LoRaWAN-powered sensor network, multi-network SIM solution and IoT-as-a-Service (IoT-a-a-S) platform, whilst iWOW will provide the alert buttons.

The wireless AAS deployment is currently underway and will be completed by 2030.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
