Peoplesafe, independent experts in lone worker safety, have added Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) from 9Solutions to its portfolio. The RTLS solution provides indoor locating systems enhancing lone worker services by overcoming the lack of coverage from GPS satellite and mobile networks within buildings.

It is recognised that organisations need to have complete visibility of where their lone workers are at any time and if ... [more]
