Crystal Alarm - the alarm receving centre in your pocket
With Crystal Alarm's lone worker alarm available on iOS and Android, combined with the Samsung Galaxy Fold, it is the perfect solution for the mobile business that cannot afford to stand still.
When your team is constantly on the move, nobody has time to sit at a desk waiting for an alarm to come in. But your staff still need personal alarm protection, and you want to keep the alarm centre within your own organisation. Perhaps you have an on-site guard who needs to receive alarms mid-round or while out on other assignments. A laptop gets the job done but is awkward to carry, and a standard phone screen simply does not give you the overview you need.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold solves this. Keep it folded in your pocket like any other phone, and when an alarm comes in, flip it open to get a full tablet-sized alarm centre in your hand. Switch to map view, navigate straight to the person who needs help, and once the alarm is resolved, fold it back up and you are ready for the next one.
Beacon Tuner for Android Devices
Crystal Alarm launches Beacon Tuner for Android, an app that simplifies the installation and maintenance of iBeacons for indoor positioning. The app displays all active beacons sorted by proximity, battery level per device, and enables colour coding to, for example, identify floor levels. Battery levels are automatically synced to the Self-Service Portal. Launch is planned for April.

Crystal Alarm announces that their new personal alarm, the Crystal Button CB20, has received a strong reception since launch — with nearly 5,000 units delivered and not a single return. The button has been designed for demanding environments such as industrial, healthcare, and logistics settings, offering a range of up to 400 metres, a five-year battery life, and an IP67 rating. The CB20 uses a proprietary communication protocol for greater reliability than standard Bluetooth, and can be integrated with the Crystal Alarm App, Wi-Fi positioning, and Cisco infrastructure.
