4.1.3 Location

The Interlink-U ID comes equipped with multiple means by which a device user can be located should they

require assistance. Each time a user initiates an Alert their location information is shared with the

ARC/Monitoring Center. This means that even if one or more of these services is out of coverage, we are

still able to confirm a device user’s location with relative accuracy should they need assistance. These

functions are described below.

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)

Your Interlink-U ID is configured so that a Location request is made in the following situations:

• Automatically at programmed intervals called “Device Checks” (ie. Every 5 minutes).

• When you enter a Check-In state

• When you enter a Red Alert state

• When your device reaches critical battery levels (below 5%).

In the event of a serious incident transmission of your Location along with your Check-In voice message

will help inform a fast and comprehensive escalation process, and therefore the best possible response.

Your current location fix status is transmitted during each Device Check event. Your location is also

requested and transmitted during any open Red Alert.

GNSS requires a clear line of site to the sky, not obstructed by buildings or other obstacles. The GNSS

location operation will not work whilst the unit is indoors. The accuracy of location reporting is between 3

– 5m where conditions are optimal.

Wifi/Cell Towers

Interlink-U ID reports all local Wireless Access Point & Cell Tower information (without connecting to the

networks themselves) to the Alarm Receiving Centre whenever an Alert is raised. This information can then
