M2M, safety and security
Protect your most valuable company assets more effectively with M2M.
M2M technology can be used to protect your property, vehicles and employees.
Getting burgled because your alarm system has failed is a situation that no business wants to face. Yet over 70% of alarm owners in the UK take this potentially disastrous risk by leaving their systems unmonitored.
With O2’s M2M solutions, you won’t be one of them. We use pre-defined ‘pinging’ communication to check your alarm status on a regular basis. These communications operate at a very low data usage charge to give you a cable-free security system. And like traditional alarms, alerts can be sent to any location you wish.
M2M is much cheaper to install and maintain than traditional alarms. And it can also be used as a back up if your fixed line fails.
By using M2M, you’ll take advantage of:
• Resilience with dual connectivity methods
• Enhanced monitoring possibilities
• Increased communication security
• Easy, cable-free installation
M2M gives you real control over your company vehicles. It’s already favoured by leading UK insurance companies, which offer reduced premiums to M2M-protected vehicles.
From using Bluetooth/smartcard technology to identify drivers when they enter your vehicle to GPS-based geo-fencing (in other words, tracking your car’s movements once you’re on the move) tracking on the road, M2M gives your vehicles a new level of protection.
Silent alarms are triggered if any aspect of the system is breached and are sent to your security firm or the police for immediate action. And you can literally stop thieves in their tracks by using the onboard SIM to remotely immobilise stolen vehicles.
We can secure anything from a single vehicle to an entire fleet, giving you:
• Lower insurance costs
• Greater theft prevention
• High recovery rates of stolen vehicles
• 24/7 control centre contact with you or the police if your alarms are triggered
• Increased security for high value vehicles
Your people are your most valuable asset, and it’s your responsibility to keep them safe. This can be difficult if you have lone workers, especially if they’re working in remote and hazardous locations.
That’s where O2 can help. Our lone worker M2M solutions range from mobile phones with GPS tracking capability to ID badges that use GSM/GPRS ‘panic buttons’ to send an immediate alert for assistance. See how we helped Shaw Trust’s lone workers stay safe.
When you use M2M, you’ll benefit from:
- A more reassured and safer workforce
- GSM/GPS handsets that can locate people in an emergency
- Compliance with H&S regulations
