iWOW Technology partners with SPTel to expand wireless emergency alert system

This extends emergency assistance to seniors in public rental flats.

Singapore-listed tech firm specialising in integrated wireless IoT solutions iWOW Technology has partnered with telecom and digital solutions firm SPTel to support the expansion of the wireless Alert Alarm System (AAS) initiative, extending emergency assistance to seniors in public rental flats across Singapore.

The deployment builds on iWOW’s wireless AAS pilot in 2019 and marks the first use of SPTEl’s island-wide LoRaWAN network to facilitate emergency assistance.

The wireless AAS allows seniors to receive timely assistance during emergencies through alert buttons in their homes that connect to a 24/7 emergency hotline. To ensure reliable and resilient connectivity, SPTel will provide its island-wide LoRaWAN-powered sensor network, multi-network SIM solution and IoT-as-a-Service (IoT-a-a-S) platform, whilst iWOW will provide the alert buttons.

The wireless AAS deployment is currently underway and will be completed by 2030.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
