Seamlessly integrated with e-mergency
For schools, government agencies, or businesses that want to implement a structured approach to ensuring the safety of workers who are alone on the job and managing risks: Physical alarm buttons allow for discreet alarm activation. Location-specific, reliable, and fully integrated into e-mergency.
Customers who trust us:
Discreet alarm triggering instead of an ad hoc response
Field and office staff who work alone in direct contact with customers require special attention. Not every situation allows for active intervention or visible action.
For such threat scenarios, our physical GPS and LoRaWAN panic buttons offer a discreet solution. Employees can trigger an alarm with the push of a button without drawing attention to themselves.
Protection is quite different when it comes to working alone, where employees are occasionally on the job without direct contact with colleagues: Our TWIG device is specifically designed for this purpose and provides continuous protection with automatic location and time alarms.
With e-mergency, you can not only send alerts but also define the entire process yourself: recipients, message content, and escalations.

Why e-mergency with emergency buttons is useful
Alarms can be triggered using the alarm buttons (LoRaWAN, GSM, and TWIG), as well as via the mobile app, web app, phone call, and third-party systems.
Push notifications with critical alerts (loud alerts even in silent mode), text messages, voice calls, email, conference calls, parallel ringing, and Teams provide redundant communication channels.
Select recipient groups by location, role, or group; optionally take operating hours into account.
In the event of an incident, notify the appropriate crisis response teams immediately.
With e-mergency, you not only benefit from rapid alerting (e.g., via our alarm buttons) but also from proven response procedures (standard scenarios). Developed in collaboration with the Zurich Department of Education, the Zurich Cantonal Police, and the City of Zurich’s Office for Violence Prevention.
Safety is a personal matter

Frequently Asked Questions
LoRaWAN alarm button: It runs on a battery that lasts 4–7 years depending on use, even if an alarm is triggered several times a day. It never needs charging.
GPS alarm button: It has a rechargeable battery that lasts 1–2 days in normal use. It is charged in a docking station. To keep the device ready for use at all times, we recommend charging it after every working day on which it was used.
TWIG One: It has a rechargeable battery. Battery life depends on how often the device sends its location: up to 12 days in standby, and around 5–9 days with regular location tracking. After less than 4 hours in the charging station, the battery is 95% charged.
The battery life figures are based on manufacturer specifications and may vary depending on configuration and use.
LoRaWAN alarm button: It transmits via the Swisscom Low Power Network (LPN). This network is specifically designed for energy-efficient devices and covers a large part of Switzerland. You can check coverage in your area on the Swisscom coverage map. Thick walls, for example in basements, underground car parks or reinforced concrete buildings, can weaken the signal. In that case, reception can be boosted with an additional LoRaWAN gateway inside the building. On request, we can provide test devices so you can check reception on site.
GPS alarm button: It uses the mobile network (4G) via a mobile subscription that you provide yourself. Coverage is therefore the same as your provider's, and the button works wherever a mobile phone has reception. It determines its location via GPS. This is very accurate outdoors, but only limited inside buildings.
TWIG One: It uses the Swisscom 4G mobile network for alarms and voice calls. Outdoors, it determines its location using several satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo). Inside buildings, positioning can be supplemented with beacons or the on-site Wi-Fi.
We would be happy to advise you on which device best suits your premises and locations.
Thick walls, basements, underground car parks or reinforced concrete buildings can weaken reception.
LoRaWAN alarm button: An additional LoRaWAN gateway inside the building boosts the signal so that alarms are transmitted reliably. The gateway is installed once and, depending on the building structure, covers several floors.
GPS alarm button: It works wherever your provider's mobile network is available. Inside buildings, GPS positioning may be less accurate. Thanks to the location details in e-mergency, recipients still know where help is needed.
TWIG One: It works wherever the Swisscom mobile network is available. For precise positioning inside buildings, it can be supplemented with beacons.
On request, we can provide test devices.
No, neither LoRaWAN nor GSM emergency buttons alert emergency services directly. They first send the alert internally to their own team, which escalates it if necessary.
TWIG can transmit directly to an emergency call center, but only under certain conditions.
No, that's not possible. The alarm buttons are an integral part of the e-mergency solution and only work in conjunction with it.
Yes. Each device is set up individually in e-mergency, whether it is a LoRaWAN alarm button, a GPS alarm button or a TWIG One.
For each device, you define:
- which people or groups are alerted
- which message they receive
- how the alarm is escalated if nobody responds
- which location or person the device is assigned to
For example, the button at reception can alert a different team than the button in the meeting room. You can make changes centrally in e-mergency at any time, with no need to adjust anything on the device itself.
As soon as an alarm is triggered, e-mergency immediately sends a predefined alarm message to the responsible people in your team. You decide in e-mergency who is notified and what the message says. The recipients can see where help is needed and initiate the next steps.
Depending on the device, additional information is included:
LoRaWAN alarm button: Each button can be assigned to a fixed location in e-mergency, for example "Reception, 1st floor". This way, recipients can see immediately where the alarm was triggered.
GPS alarm button: The alarm includes the current GPS location, so the person can be found even when on the move.
TWIG One: The TWIG sends an alarm when someone presses the SOS button. It also triggers an alarm by itself if it detects a fall or lack of movement. The alarm includes the current location, and the built-in speaker allows responders to talk directly to the person affected.
