Securecom Technologies Ltd. has achieved leadership through the development of breakthrough technology in mobile Personal Safety for the mass consumer and business markets.

The Brief

Securecom needed support in developing a novel Bluetooth personal safety product. The requirement was for the product to function by pressing a panic button to wirelessly trigger an alarm, through either a Bluetooth-enabled mobile or satellite phone. The alarm was to be in the form of a text message containing location information.

The Solution

Fen worked with the Securecom's engineering team to evolve the requirements and assess a number of routes to a solution. To best support the client, Fen worked with their hardware team and developed all the software to implement the specification and interface with a number of mobile and satellite handsets. Fen also have provided continuing ad-hoc support for the client through their ongoing development and demo timetable.

The Skills and Experience Used

  • System - Analysis of problem, requirements development, and implementation and testing of solution. Bluetooth/wireless/GPS product development experience.
  • Hardware - Development and debug skills in supporting client hardware team.
  • Software - Worked with CSR's Casira development environment to write full suite of C code to interact with and control a number of mobile and satellite handsets.

The Customer Reaction

Fen were able to hit the ground running and using their considerable skills and experience in Bluetooth product development, were able to quickly bring Securecom to a point where we were able to demonstrate a complete solution. As a result, we have asked Fen to continue to support Securecom towards Bluetooth Qualification and full production.
