Product Info:
Loner 900 is a Class I, Division 1 intrinsically safe device that monitors a worker’s ongoing safety. When a safety incident occurs, Loner 900 communicates the alert in¬formation plus the worker’s location to monitoring personnel via a Loner bridge uplink to enable an efficient, pin-point response.


Loner Bridge is the base station that communicates with multiple worker-worn Loner 900 safety and operates through a 900 MHz radio link. Providing dual-mode satellite and cellular backhaul communications to the Blackline infrastructure, Loner Bridge automatically and seamlessly use its satellite network when outside of cellular coverage. Self pow¬ered and portable, users are able to quickly move Loner Bridge from one vehicle to another, such as from an all-terrain vehicle to a work truck.

Unlike many competitive solutions, Loner 900 coupled with Loner Bridge operates inside buildings using cellular or satellite communications.

“ICDE 2012 will be an important event for Blackline GPS as it will mark the introduction of our first true product for the disaster response market – Loner 900 and Loner Bridge. Until now, our products had only provided real-time safety monitoring in areas where cellular coverage was present. Now, with the implementation of satellite and 900 MHz communications, Blackline makes its first foray into monitoring the safety of those who find themselves deep out of coverage such as in disaster areas where cell towers may have been knocked down.”
