Personal safety alarm
The Brief
Securecom needed support in designing a new Bluetooth personal safety device that would work by activating an alarm through a panic button, either via a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or satellite phone. The alarm would be triggered wirelessly and would consist of a text message that includes location information.
The Solution
We collaborated with Securecom’s engineering team to refine the requirements and evaluate various potential solutions. To provide optimal support to the client, we worked closely with their hardware team and created all the software needed to implement the specifications and interface with multiple mobile and satellite handsets. In addition, we have offered ongoing ad-hoc assistance to the client throughout their development and demo schedule.
Analysis of problem, requirements development, and implementation and testing of solution. Bluetooth/wireless/GPS product development experience.
Development and debug skills in supporting client hardware team
A dedicated task was undertaken to review the client hardware and identify where improvements could be made in battery charge life.
Worked with CSR’s Casira development environment to write full suite of C code to interact with and control a number of mobile and satellite handsets.

Fen Technology has been a valuable addition to the Xaar engineering team. They have allowed our engineers to remain focused on core developments and at the same time giving us the confidence that we can take on a greater developmental roadmap whilst retaining full intellectual ownership of all our product designs.
Fen was able to hit the ground running and, using their considerable skills and experience in Bluetooth product development, was able to quickly bring Securecom to a point where we were able to demonstrate a complete solution. As a result, we have asked Fen to continue to support Securecom towards Bluetooth Qualification and full production.
Fen has impressed us with how they have created a solution that has met both EMT’s needs of integration with our existing infrastructure and way of working, and provided a high quality feature enhancement to our product range.
Fen Technology’s skills and experience were a key factor in selecting them as a development partner. Fen’s ability to de-risk the design process was a significant benefit to us during the product development.
Fen Technology proved a worthy partner in supporting Nujira at a critical stage in the development of our leading-edge power amplification technology for the cellular infrastructure market. Fen’s experience and maturity of approach has given us the confidence to entrust them with a range of tasks that were integral to our early-stage development.
Fen’s engineers have done an excellent job in creating a sophisticated, flagship product that outperforms the competition with respect to price/performance ratio. The development methodology is mature and leads to qualitatively solid software, while Fen’s approach has been always persistent and professional.
