Imagine a MOTOTRBO digital radio system with integrated GPS and panic button. Imagine Nomad. The extensive applications of the Nomad tracking system redefine risk management. Nomad turns your standard digital radio communications into a state of the art global tracking and crisis management solution. Combining the versatility and low cost of radio with a tracking and emergency alert capability, Nomad is ideal for close protection teams, infrastructure, perimeter and maritime security.
The Nomad system comprises multiple radio handsets, each handset providing the user with personal tracking, panic button and voice communication. Complete integration of the Nomad system into the web-based Track24 crisis management software, the C4i platform, allows operations staff to monitor all radio users on one common picture from anywhere in the world. TrackingEach handset has handheld GPS tracking capability and transmits its exact location back to a master handset.
The frequency of position reporting can be remotely programmed from the Track24 risk management software, the C4i platform, from 30 second intervals upwards. Because Nomad is a radio-based system, there is no ‘air-time’ cost associated with its tracking capabilities. Panic alarmThe Nomad handset features an integral panic button. Once activated the device becomes a handheld distress beacon, sending audible and visual alerts to the Master handset and the C4i platform. Notification of the alarm is also automatically forwarded via e-mail and SMS to nominated recipients.

5 ways in which you can help aid workers in a remote environment
Aid volunteers often work in a high risk environment, be it from civilians fighting for aid or political conflict and fighting. Working in a foreign environment can often be quite a strange experience and it’s important to make the team feel at ease and as comfortable as possible so that they can concentrate on the task at hand.
There are many ways in which this can be achieved, some of which are really simple and easy to implement.
Here are 5 ways in which you could help aid workers when working in a remote, high risk environment:
1. Prepare them by educating them about their surroundings. Working in a strange place is often daunting as it is, but to work in a remote location, with people speaking a foreign language takes it to another level. Where possible provide your aid workers with maps and navigation equipment so that in the event of them getting lost they stand a chance to find their way back to base.
2. Supply them with enough food and water if they have to leave the base. But don’t just give them enough for their journey. What if they get lost or stranded? Supply them with enough rations to ensure that in the event of crisis they stand a chance of getting back to a safe place.
3. Supply them with GPS Tracking technology. With the simple use of a Motorola GPS enabled radio you can deploy a mobile tracking solution that keeps you in touch with your aid workers 24/7. Not only can you communicate with them via radio communications (should the local infrastructure allow) but you can also use the integrated GPS transmitters to track positions of the workers at all times.
4. Supply your team with suitable clothing. In some countries the weather can change in an instance. Make sure that they have suitable clothing for heavy rain or extreme heat so that they can use it when required.
5. Train them for first aid. Remote workers should always work as a team, and if one of the team is to become sick or injured its important that another member of the team is able to quickly and efficiently perform medical treatment to prevent the situation becoming worst. These are just 5 areas which touch the surface of remote working, but
just by taking notice and acting on them could help to save the lifes of workers in high risk situations.

A review of the Nomad GPS Tracking solution
Firstly, let me let you know what Nomad is. Nomad is basically a MOTOTRBO radio system with an inbuilt GPS transmitter and panic button. The extensive applications of Nomad redefine risk management solutions.
Nomad transforms your Motorola Mototrbo radio into a state of the art tracking and crisis management solution. Combining the versatility and low cost of radio technology with a tracking and emergency alert capability, Nomad is ideal for close protection teams, security, infrastructure, perimeter and maritime security.
The Nomad risk management and tracking system is a solution that comprises of multiple Mototrbo radio handsets, each handset providing the user with personal tracking, a panic button and voice communication. Complete integration of the Nomad system into a web-based tracking platform allows operations teams to monitor all Nomad radio users on one common picture from anywhere in the world. This means that no matter where your team or troops are deployed you can easily monitor high risk situations as long as the radio and GPS transmitter remains intact and powered on.
Tracking
Each Nomad handset has an built in GPS receiver and transmits its exact location back to a master handset. The frequency of the recorded position reporting can be remotely programmed from the central managed console, from 30 second intervals upwards. Nomad is a radio-based tracking solution which means that there is no associated ‘air-time’ costs associated with the running of the system.
Panic alarm
A nice feature of the Nomad handset is the integrated panic button. This discrete button, once activated transmits an audible and visual alert on the master handset and the web based tracking platform. You can also opt to receive a notification of the alarm via e-mail and SMS text to a mobile phone to nominated recipients.
