At Mobile World Congress 2018, Nokia Technologies not only limited its commercial offerings to the mobile segment but, to the great surprise, presented an innovative Smart reflective jacket that promises to revolutionize the public security sector.
Nokia CHASE: security, first of all Nokia 7 Plus has certainly caught us by surprise. But what would you say if we told you that the company has also presented a new smart jacket for emergency rescuers? Interesting, right?
It is a product that combines the need for security with intelligent technology conferred by Colon Industries (South Korean clothing company) and Gina Software (software developer).
Aesthetically identical to a classic rescuer’s jacket, the new solution integrates diversified sensors, such as body-cams for police officers and thermometers for firefighters, to inevitable cardiac sensors for biorhythm detection. In this case, the system monitors the status of the user, recording the data that are then sent to the control unit.
Nokia CHASE (Connected Health And Safety Equipment), this is the name of the product, meets all the required technical safety requirements and realizes a weatherproof GORE-TEX structure. The colors, of course, are the classic ones in yellow with distinctive reflective materials. The modules can be removed and recharged via the integrated micro USB port, and the jacket can easily be washed by hand or in the washing machine.
Nokia has exposed what has been classified as a first prototype to be released to the commercial market by 2019. Meanwhile, the company has come into contact with rescuers in order to propose this new security solution, that is wearing safety clothing when working at night.
