What is a Sattelite Tracking for Lone Worker ?

Satellite tracking for lone workers uses satellite technology to monitor and protect employees in remote or no-coverage areas. This system ensures continuous communication, real-time location tracking, and emergency alerting, even in environments without cellular or Wi-Fi networks.

Satellite Tracking for Lone Workers

People working alone in areas without a cellphone connection face significantly more dangers than those in an office setting. Satellite tracking for lone workers allows you toprotect your employees easily and securely, no matter where their job takes them. Our cost-effective app is simple to deploy and use and protects the privacy of your workers.  

Manual alarm

Trigger a discreet manual alarm directly from the Bivy Stick or the mobile App.®

Connection Loss

The Neovigie platform monitors the worker in real-time. If the connection is lost, a positive safety alarm is automatically activated.

Fall Detection

Highly accurate fall detection using an advanced AI-powered algorithm that processes sensor data from the App.

No-Motion Detection

A safety feature that triggers an alert when no movement is detected for a preset period, signaling potential incidents like unconsciousness.

Geofencing - Entry Alert

Configure specific zones on a map, triggering an alert when entering a designated area.

Geofencing – Exit Alerts

Alerts are triggered if the worker leaves a predefined safe zone.

Lifeline

The life line allows you to start a countdown at the end of which an alarm will be triggered in the absence of user action. This function is very practical, especially for the management of

Low Battery Alarm

Alerts supervisors if the battery drops below a certain level.

Why Neovigie’s Satellite Solution Stands Out

Unlike other satellite SOS devices that provide connectivity only during an emergency check-in, our innovative use of Bivy Stick satellite technology offers advanced features and flexibility.

You can track your lone workers even when they’re in remote area swith no signal. The core of our solution is the seamless integration of the BivyStick satellite device with oursafety app, the VigieApp. This combination provides maximum protection withminimum constraints.

The VigieApp gives you advanced safety features to better protect your workers, but if necessary, the Bivy Stick can be used alone. Your employees will have reliable connectivity even in the most remote locations.

A Reliable Solution for Connectivity Challenges

With 5G connectivity and a phone in nearly every pocket, it’s easy to forget that some places still lack network access for smartphones. Neovigie’s satellite tracking solutions work even when network connections fail or don’t exist.

You can count on satellite technology for uninterrupted communication and safety monitoring. Rest assured, knowing your workers are never truly alone.

Key Benefits of the Bivy Stick and VigieApp Integration

Working together, theBivy Stick and the VigieApp give you access to more safety features than either alone. Our advanced functionality and satellite technology include the following features:

Automatic Network Switching for Uninterrupted Communication

In many cases, your workers aren’t consistently without cellphone coverage. Rather they’re often in areas where coverage is spotty and unreliable. When this happens, Neovigie automatically switches between cellular and satellite networks.

If a cellular network is available, the app will connect with it. If your employee moves out of range, the Bivy Stick will automatically connect to a satellite for workerprotection.

This seamless transition lets your employees focus on their jobs without having to worry about whether they’re connected. No matter where they are, safety monitoring is enabled, and you’ll be quickly notified if there’s an incident.

Keeping Workers Safe Through Multi-Channel Notifications

Alarms triggered from VigieApp can be transmitted to supervisors  by Neovigie according to numerous communication channels : Voice call, SMS, Push notification, Email, remote monitoring system notification.

Multi-channel notifications make it possible to bring redundancy essential to a security system. Alarm notifications are not sent by the smartphone or the Biby Stick of the person in distress, which may not be in working condition, but exclusively by Neovigie servers that guarantee a high level of availability.

Enhanced Safety Features

The Bivy Stick allows the Vigie App to function even when there’s no cellular network. This unlocks advanced safety features that allow the system to adapt to the job, including:

Soyez en sécurité avec neovigie

Fall detection

If the app detects a fall, it automatically triggers an alert so the supervisor can send help.

Lifeline

A worker can set a countdown to send an alarm if they haven’t checked in by a specific time. This is ideal for high-risk tasks.

Checkpoint

Workers can set check-in intervals that correlate with the nature of the tasks they’re working on frequently for dangerous jobs and less often when they’re working on more simple tasks.

Standalone Functionality of Bivy Stick®

In the event an employee doesn’t have access to a smartphone, they can use the Bivy Stick as a standalone device. It can function independently in critical situations where smartphones aren't practical.

Workers can send an SOS through the BivyStick and share their location or check in directly—without needing a smartphone.

Even in the most remote locations, your worker is never completely cut off. Together, these features and the intuitive, user-friendly interface of the VigieApp give yourlone worker complete coverage and highly effective safety features that are simple to use.

Advantages of the Iridium® Satellite Network

Neovigie uses the Iridium® satellite network, which is known for its 100% global coverage and super reliable data transmission.

The Iridium® network has 66 cross-linked low-earth satellites that offer reliable global coverage. Whether they’re in the middle of the ocean, far out in the desert, or high on an isolated mountain range, your employees will be able to rapidly transmit data.

Even in the harshest, most desolate environments, satellite tracking for lone workers enables real-time safety monitoring, allowing you to dispatch emergency responders as needed.

Mesh function with the Lora® System for even more connectivity

The Bivy Stick® MESH uses the LoRa® technology® to allow Bivy Stick® to communicate directly with each other, without going through a cellular network. Each connected Bivy Stick® acts like a relays, extending the reach of the network as new devices are added.

Ideal for coordinating teams or sharing essential information in remote areas, the Bivy Stick® MESH ensures reliable communication, even where there is no network.

Working in Areas with no Coverage Multiplied Risks

In areas with no cellular and Wi-Fi networks are lone workers face considerable dangers:
  • Accidents without assistance: A fall can go unanswered for hours, greatly increasing health risks.
  • Assaults and threats: Exposed professionals, such as truck drivers or nurses, often have no way of discreetly reporting a hazard.
  • Total isolation: Without possible communication, supervisors lose all contact, which complicates team management and emergency responses.
The Solution: Bivy Stick® Satellite and VigieApp®:
Thanks to the integration of Bivy Stick® and VigieApp®, Neovigie eliminates these barriers:
  • Workers stay connected, even in the most remote environments.restent connectés, même dans les environnements les plus reculés.
  • Advanced features such as fall detection or the VigieTouch button ensure quick and discreet alerts.
  • Centralized management via VigieApp® allows immediate intervention in the event of a problem, reducing delays and ensuring optimal reactivity.
Neovigie turns areas with no cellular network into safe spaces, where each employee can work with confidence.
