Nationwide Digital Monitoring Co. of Freeport, N.Y., just launched a Mobile PERS offering for its dealers. The solution, manufactured by Numera, provides end users with a hands-free, GPS device that they can incorporate into their lifestyle, whether at home, on the golf course, or on the road. The remotely managed, two-way voice device has built-in fall detection, and is a great fit for end users that have active lifestyles, according to Howard Avin, vice president of sales and marketing at Nationwide Digital.
“We’ve been looking for a product like this for at least a year and a half,” Avin said. “I really believe that this is where the industry is going in terms of PERS. This is ideal for so many seniors who are very active and who need something that they can take with them. This is going to lend itself to people who are more active and probably a little younger in age than the average PERS user right now. It will open up a lot more opportunities for alarm dealers.”
