Durable hardware

Handles dust and sand. Resistant to corrosive effects of sea water. Withstands vibrations and drops. Extreme temperatures and solar radiation are no match for mSafety either.

Long battery life

The advanced LTE release 13 CAT-M1 chipset, as well as the power-efficient multicore microcontroller, give mSafety devices a fantastic battery life.

LTE Cat-M1

mSafety uses LTE Cat-M1, a low-power wide-area cellular technology, which eliminates dependency on a smartphone and provides a reliable connection with a global roaming profile.

Why LTE Cat-M1? Find out why Sony chose this cellular technology in our white paper.

Robust data framework

mSafety’s data management and scaling framework for IoT devices is built on the AWS IoT Core platform. No manual input from users or service providers is needed to transmit data.

mSafety-solutions-4

End-to-end encryption

The application data can be end-to-end encrypted from the wearable to the customer’s endpoint. It is never visible during transfer nor in the mSafety backend.

mSafety-solutions-5

Mutual authentication

Communication between devices and the mSafety backend is secured using TLS 1.2 with mutual authentication, involving both the server and the client. Each wearable is provisioned with a unique TLS client private key and an X.509 client certificate.
