Reliance High-Tech and buddi Track Riders on Dallaglio Cycle Slam
CHESSINGTON, England, March 8, 2010-- Reliance High-Tech have teamed up with GPS technology leader
buddi to monitor and track riders as they cycle 549km from Rosslare to
Edinburgh to help raise GBP1m in aid of Sport Relief and the Dallaglio
Foundation.
The riders will be provided with a GPS-enabled buddi that is
light and comfortable for the wearer. Its compact form factor makes this
device smaller and lighter than any other currently available but can
accurately locate a person to within a few metres. The Reliance Monitoring
Centre will correlate the riders' information with each device and through
sophisticated mapping software will monitor and track each rider's progress
across Ireland. Operators at the BS5979 CAT II monitoring centre are able to
provide instant updates on the riders' location and map their path taken
along the route.
Paul Holdstock, Director of Monitoring and Surveillance at
Reliance High-Tech, said, "We are pleased to be supporting a worthy cause
while demonstrating our expertise in monitoring outside of the UK. In this
case, we are utilising the technology for a cycling event but it has serious
applications including the monitoring and locating of vulnerable people, lone
worker protection as well as extensive benefits in offender management and
mental health care."
Reliance High-Tech and buddi currently partner to provide a
range of monitoring solutions including lone worker protection, vulnerable
person and secure patient monitoring and offender management.
