Protect your Lone Workers with a SPOT Device and OK Alone

How it Works

The SPOT Satellite Devices from Globalstar can be used together with OK Alone to help keep lone workers safe. SPOT devices use both GPS and Globalstar’s own satellites to transmit locations and messages.

They offer different levels of service plans, but each supported device works well with OK Alone; a favorite of ours is the SPOT X. This is because the SPOT X can communicate not just through the phone’s GPS and simple data but can send and receive SMS communications for a more thorough connection to our system.

SPOT X Features and Benefits

• Durable & Reliable – Built to withstand tough environments with an IP67 rating for water, dust, and impact resistance. Functions in extreme temperatures (-20°C to +60°C) and altitudes (-100m to +6,500m).

• Accurate & Efficient Tracking – Offers multiple tracking options, including motion-activated tracking to extend battery life, with over 250 hours in 10-minute tracking mode.

• SOS & Emergency Alerts – Dedicated SOS button for immediate emergency response, ensuring lone workers can get help when needed.

• Two-Way Communication – Send and receive customized SMS messages through OK Alone, with Bluetooth connectivity to a smartphone app for added flexibility.

• Automated Check-Ins – Built-in check-in button allows workers to check in directly with OK Alone, keeping monitoring teams informed.

Setting Up SPOT X with OK Alone

Using a Spot lone worker device allows a worker to keep in contact with monitors on OK Alone even if they are far outside of cell tower coverage areas. Each Spot device has a unique ID that can be linked to a worker in OK Alone to allow for easy confirmation each time a worker starts a shift.

All Spot lone worker devices need to be set up with OK Alone before being able to use our services. We have created some handy documentation that helps guide our users through the set up process.
