Why LoRaLine
LoRaLine autonomous emergency network connects first responders to you even when cellphones, internet and power are down.
A series of outdoor, solar powered repeaters automatically relay messages sent by the authorities to homeowners consoles. Critical messages, such as “Prepare to evacuate” will cause an audible alarm and a flashing light to alert you and suggest taking action at once.
How it works
In your home, a small desktop console will automatically receive emergency status information. But should you be in extreme distress, pressing one button will request help be dispatched to your home.
