If it becomes necessary, Otiom can locate a person. Otiom’s specially-developed antenna lets you find someone with dementia even if they are in wet environments. For example, in rain or in a ditch.
The Otiom tag saves the energy when at home. ‘Home’ is where the tag can communicate with the Otiom home base.
The home base is included when you purchase an Otiom starter kit. It has a range up to 140 m2., measures only 5 x1,5 cm and is neutral in design and is wireless.
The Otiom battery usage increases when the Otiom chip is outside the home base coverage for a long time.
The Otiom-tag must be charged at least once a month!
Ensuring good Home Base coverage is the best way to maximize battery usage.
The battery life of Otiom is related to the time spent near the Home Base.
For maximal security we recommend the Otiom-tag to be fully charged after having been in alarm.
The primary technology in the Otiom-tag is Narrowband – Internet of Things (NB-IoT). NB-IoT is a Low Power Wide Area Network, which was developed to make electronic communication more effective, extend battery life and provide better coverage – even indoors. NB-IoT is designed to send small data quantities, e.g. location notifications. NB-IoT uses mobile phone masts to communicate. This ensures a very strong signal with good coverage, both indoors and outdoors. It means that, in general, Otiom will still have a connection in situations where a GPS device will not work and where the signal is too weak for a phone conversation. The small data quantities and the strong signal means that Otiom uses far less power than a GPS device, for example.
The Otiom-tag also uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to determine outdoor locations. GNSS includes a large network of satellite systems from many different countries, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Bedou. The GNSS system is used to determine positions within a few metres. The GNSS antenna in Otiom is specially-designed for great precision with very low power usage. It is therefore a great extra safety measure.
The Otiom-tag and Otiom Home Base include Bluetooth 5.X technology. Bluetooth has an incredibly low power consumption. It is used when the Otiom-tag and Otiom Home Base communicate as well as when you define the home zone. This means that if the person with dementia never leaves the home zone – for example at a nursing home – then the Otiom-tag can have enough power for several months.
