POC—Latest Features In Review
Indoor Positioning
With our focus on enhancing real-time monitoring solutions, we are pleased to offer Indoor Positioning features via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Beacons— now available for POC Android mobile users.
Identifying the specific area of where an emergency occurs helps businesses respond quicker, know the specific location of the nearest staff to assist and provides analytics later to determine possible unsafe zones within a facility. Whether you’re using POC or POC + CYRN, our Indoor Positioning system integrates seamlessly with existing POC Emergency Alerts to offer additional information and accuracy. As and extended layer to embedded device emergency actions or to CYRN panic button’s SOS functionality, the indoor positioning feature provides more pinpointed localization for incidents in progress.
As an employee safety solution, POC integrates industry-leading enterprise push-to-talk with wearable emergency panic buttons and indoor positioning to meet and exceed clients’ compliance and safety standards.

Indoor Positioning: In Depth Review
Details
POC is designed to integrate with and support multiple Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon protocols
including Eddystone, iBeacon, and AltBeacon in order to offer our clients the widest possible range of
configuration options.
How It Works:
- Beacons are configured in the POC Provisioning system and are set to report continuously to
ensure the highest possible accuracy. - When an employee presses their Emergency Alert Button or CYRN Panic Button, the application
communicates with all nearby beacons to determine the exact location of the employee and
immediately sends out POC Dispatcher Alerts and CYRN text message alerts where applicable.
NOTE: If the user moves after triggering an Emergency Alert, their location will update in real-time.
NOTE: If the user moves after triggering an Emergency Alert, their location will update in real-time.
Dispatch and Administration Review:
- During an Emergency Alert, when the closest beacon location
changes or the distance from the beacon varies more than one
meter, a new beacon update is sent to the system. - The Dispatcher Live Module, History Module and Alarms
Module will all contain the beacon info, as do the user’s
map-based info bubbles within each of the application’s
dashboard tabs. - Administrators and Managers can run a POC Alerts Report to
extract detailed Indoor Positioning historical data. - To run the report, click the “Open Reports” button in dispatcher,
then select, “Alerts Report”.
POC System Performance Analysis Feature Review
The POC System Performance Analysis tool is for
users who want to dig deeper into their data. We
encourage you to put POC to the test and see for
yourself.

POC Device Battery Monitoring Feature Review
Dispatcher
- If this feature is enabled, the Dispatcher will be notified of the battery life or charging status for all LINX devices in real time from both an icon on the menu or the unit’s info bubble on the map.
