Core Feature Comparison – Why Silent Beacon Leads the Pack:
Features
Target Audience
Designed for people who actually need protection—individuals, healthcare works, employee groups, seniors, lone workers, joggers, students, travelers—anyone who values immediate and mobile safety.
Built for internal use within schools, businesses, and institutions—not intended for mobile personal safety.
Alert Mechanism
A simple press of the wearable panic button instantly connects to your chosen emergency contact or dials 911 directly—with no central dispatch delays.
Triggers through desktop, mobile apps, or optional fixed hardware—none of which help when you’re out walking alone at night.
Communication
Built-in two-way audio ensures you can talk to help instantly from the device itself, no second device needed.
Limited to in-app chat functions among staff—no real-world audio contact or direct 911 capability.
Customization
Silent alerts, live GPS tracking, customizable contact lists, and discreet notification options give users complete control over how and when alerts are sent.
Limited to in-app chat functions among staff—no real-world audio contact or direct 911 capability.

Location and alert data are handled by organizational systems—not always under user control.
Form Factor
Lightweight, wearable device that fits in your palm, on a keychain, or around your neck—always ready when you need it.
Desktop-triggered software with fixed-location buttons—useful only when you’re at your desk.
Design
