Wide area cellular products

TWIG is a world-class purpose-designed line of duress and person-down products manufactured in Salo, Finland. TWIG products are small person-down and duress transmitters that operate across the mobile phone network. They message directly to mobile phones or landlines with both sms and two-way voice call alerts.

A duress alert can be activated simply by pressing a button on the twig device.

With the "ManDown" feature, TWIG will send an alarm when it tilts beyond more than a defined angle or registers no-motion for a specified period of time. The time frame and tilt angle like many other features can also be programmed. The unit then beeps and vibrates to warn a message is about to be sent, allowing time for cancellation. The pre-warning time can also be specified.

In some models, the person down function can also be easily switched on and off by the user with the press of a button.

In an emergency event, the following actions can occur:

• ten emergency numbers can be programmed into the unit to receive either a SMS message, a dialed call or both
• a duress events begin with the unit sending a SMS text message to all numbers on the SMS list
• the unit starts dialing numbers on the voice-call list in sequence until one answers
• a two-way voice channel is then opened between the sender and the receiver
• four additional buttons can direct-dial to frequently called numbers with a single press of the button, which enables a non-emergency assistance call – in some models, there is only one direct-dial button
• the unit requires a SIM card provided by the purchaser
