Unabiz introduces Family 4.0 Initiative at CES

UnaBiz, in collaboration with IMT-IPAL, Omate, and LITE-ON, has introduced its Family 4.0 Initiative at CES.

The first Internet of Things (IoT)-dedicated network operator in Asia announced four IoT Sigfox-ready solutions to equip users with technologies to ensure the health, safety and security of the young and the elderly. Sigfox runs a low-power wide-area network that brings down cost and energy consumption required to securely connect IoT sensors to the cloud.

UnaBiz and French-Singaporean lab IPAL Centre national de la recherche scientifique are showcasing an Eldercare Smart Monitoring System that consists of lightweight, affordable sensors that can be easily deployed to track the living habits of elderly persons in their households. The system incorporates security and measures to alert caregivers to ensure the safety of these senior occupants without impeding their privacy or independence.

Out of home, UnaBiz collaborates with Omate to launch an affordable and energy-efficient smartwatch - the Omate O6S, to further reinforce the health and safety needs of seniors. The pedometer smartwatch boasts a 30-day battery life and can be used to send SOS alerts in the event of emergencies via the UnaBiz network. This allows the wearers' loved ones to locate them in real-time via a mobile app. Equipped with a magnetic charger, the Omate O6S will be available in Q319.

UnaBiz has paired up with LITE-ON to launch a child protection device with an alarm function. As with the Omate O6S, this device allows the wearer to be located immediately in case of emergency. The consumer GPS tracker is the size of a credit card so it can be easily inserted into a wallet.

“At UnaBiz, family always comes first. In this digital age, we want to pursue an inclusive society for both the young and the elderly, where the vulnerable do not get left behind. As an IoT operator, we believe our role is to empower IoT with the right purpose. Together with our ecosystem partners, we are trying to slowly, but surely, change the world, and the first step is to bring peace of mind to you and your loved ones," said Henri Bong, CEO and co-founder of UnaBiz.
