Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

He Brasshopper,

Thanks for thinking with us.
No, I haven't looked at RFID, as far as I was aware this was only for short range applications (like NFC.) Could you maybe provide me a link to a...

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

PanPan is made to be exactly what you say, an extra layer of protection in the scheme of things.

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

Thanks for the kind words.

I believe this has passed in this thread before. I will have to do some digging in the technology as the range is certainly a big asset.
From what I could find quickly...

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

He Rabbi,

Good question, and one that's hard to answer because it's depended on the conditions. We've tested about 200meters line of sight range with a sony xperia z1.

We've also tested on...

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

He Chris,

Thanks for the kind words.

You are correct.
PanPan is made to initiate the fastest response and gives you a good reference point to start your procedure.

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

It's re-usable, the housing is epoxy sealed.
This is also the reason the battery can't be changed and thus the beacon should be disposed if the battery is empty. By the time that happens it's...

We actually had a Tile ourselves. Not for the purpose of a MOB but for locating a cat! While we haven't tested it on an actual boat, considering the range we saw in the house, the signal is to weak...

You are most welcome.

The sms is a great idea that would not be to hard to implement with just software. The kill switch is also a nice idea but would require an extra physical device. We are...

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

Ah!
Yes, all the phones that run the app can work in tandem. If one PanPan beacon moves out of range all phones will sound the alarm.

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

We thought about this approach but we figured the risk was high since the first experience with the product would be a bad one. (due to the false alarms)

It's Bluetooth because the bluetooth 4 (or...

Thanks for kind words, I'm flattered.

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

This is why you can easily tuck PanPan in your life jacket or attach it anywhere else. A LED is great for visibility but won't alarm the person in the cabin you fell overboard.

Re: PanPan - a virtual lifeline on your smartphone

That's for one beacon transmitter.
The app wil be free to download for android and iOS.
There will be discounts when purchasing multiple beacons at once.
