Long-range SOS reporting and personnel location visibility help teams direct assistance across care facilities, campuses, and workplaces.

Minew Launches MWB02 LoRaWAN Wearable Panic Button

Minew introduces the MWB02 LoRaWAN-Panikknopf zum Tragen, designed to help organizations receive SOS alerts and locate people who need assistance. Combining long-range LoRaWAN communication, Bluetooth Low Energy scanning, and optional Wi-Fi scanning, MWB02 provides location context to support a coordinated response.

For teams responsible for people across multiple rooms, buildings, or work areas, knowing where assistance is needed is an essential part of responding. MWB02 brings emergency reporting and personnel positioning together in a wearable device that fits daily care and workplace routines.

Extend SOS Coverage with Location Context

MWB02 supports a LoRaWAN communication range of 1 km in open, line-of-sight conditions, forwarding SOS alerts, device status, and positioning data through LoRaWAN gateway to a management platform. This gives organizations more flexibility when planning wearable safety coverage across larger sites and dispersed work areas.

To support personnel positioning, MWB02 scans nearby Bluetooth Low Energy beacons and, with the optional Wi-Fi configuration, Wi-Fi access points. The collected data travels via LoRaWAN to support location information on the platform, helping teams determine the reported location and direct assistance.

Adapt SOS Activation to Different Users

MWB02 offers five selectable SOS trigger modes, with double press enabled by default. Organizations can configure activation to suit different users and operating routines while helping reduce accidental alerts.

Once an SOS is triggered, the device can repeat reports automatically at configured intervals and counts. This reduces the need for the wearer to keep pressing the button to report the same emergency.

Confirm SOS Activation and Help Locate Wearers

A 7-color RGB LED and vibration confirm that an SOS alert has been triggered, giving the wearer clear visual and tactile feedback. Configurable feedback patterns also support alerts and low-battery reminders.

Teams can additionally activate light and vibration on a selected device from the management platform. These cues help on-site staff identify and locate the person wearing it, supporting the transition from reviewing location information to finding the wearer in the reported area.

Fit Safety into Everyday Routines

With wristband and lanyard wearing options, MWB02 accommodates different roles and preferences. Its IP67 protection and operating temperature range of −20°C to +60°C support daily use across care facilities, campuses, and industrial workplaces.

A dedicated Type-C charging dock simplifies recharging between uses. The Power Path design helps reduce unnecessary battery cycling, supporting battery longevity and routine maintenance across larger deployments.

Keep Records Available for Incident Review

MWB02 stores up to 2,500 records locally, retaining positioning and event data during network interruptions. Records can be exported through the app for post-incident review and follow-up reporting, giving teams information to revisit an event and document their response.

Support People Across Care and Work Environments

MWB02 brings wearable SOS reporting and location visibility to a range of everyday settings:

  • Healthcare and elderly care: Give staff and residents a way to request assistance, with location information to guide care teams.
  • Campus safety: Help teachers, staff, and security personnel request support across buildings and shared spaces.
  • Public and site security: Support patrol teams with wearable SOS and platform-triggered light and vibration to help locate selected wearers.
  • Industrial workplaces: Equip workers with a wearable means of requesting help, supported by IP67 protection and records for incident review.

By connecting an SOS request with location context and clear feedback, MWB02 helps organizations direct support to the people who need it.
