You are looking at the Heart of
NeighborNet!
It's called a Hornet! The Hornet can call for help,
receive calls for help, and manage calls for help. It is part of an
incredible new system called NeighborNet. The Hornet is for protecting
and aiding people. A companion product called the Harkener is for protecting places and property.
Together, they work within a network system known as the Hive.
The NeighborNet system was developed in
cooperation with municipal agencies wishing to make their communities better
and safer places to live, work, and play. Those agencies who choose to
work with us are then able to develop working relationships with the
educational, governmental, institutional, merchant and neighborhood
participants.
The
cost for infrastructure averages around eleven dollars per citizen. An example
is the Woodlawn community
within the City of Birmingham, Alabama with a population of a little more than
11,000 residents residing in an area encompassing over 4,800 square miles.
Once
the infrastructure is in place, a variety of services can be offered. For
example a personal wireless call button system is available that can cut
response time in emergency situations from an average of around 10 minutes with
a commercial alarm system to an average of 4 minutes or less with no commercial
alarm system required. The cost of the call button is only $300 and there are
no monthly fees.
