ROAR for Good, an emerging leader in security technology for hotel workplaces, has been granted U.S. Patent No. 11,128,987, which recognizes the uniqueness of the ROAR for Good Bluetooth low energy mesh network system and its significant technological advancement protects in numerous industries.

The innovation, designed to eliminate “drops”, blind spots or failed covers for network security systems, has been developed and rigorously tested over several years by a team of ROAR for Good engineers. The application is now live in dozens of hotels across the country and supports the company’s AlwaysOn Staff Alert Technology as the new safety standard for the industry.

“This was a technical initiative we took to ensure our customers are protected with the strongest defenses – a closed system of mesh nodes that require very little battery power to operate,” said Rich Nelson, co-founder and Vice President of Product and Hardware Development at ROAR for Good. “Our system always outputs data – regardless of how a hotel’s WiFi or LTE works – making AlwaysOn one of the most reliable and accurate location-based panic buttons for the hotel community and other suitable markets.”

ROAR for Good’s Bluetooth Mesh Network and Bluetooth Low Energy Application (BLE) enable the optimal performance of a panic button solution by connecting a system of intelligent BLE network nodes in a protected facility. When triggered, these “intelligent beacons” can continuously send signals to security personnel, who can respond to crisis situations in real time. The system’s continuous location reporting (or “follow-me” function) updates the location in real time, even if the employee moves from the original location. With ROAR for Good’s patented technology, traditional system maintenance or poor internet connections do not affect the network’s ability to relay information.

“Housekeepers are on their feet all day working behind the scenes to provide guests with a safe and comfortable hotel experience,” said Taun Chapman, co-founder and chief technology officer of ROAR for Good. “With the feedback from a large number of hotel employees, we were able to develop a high-performance accessory that is an extension of their workwear. This patent will raise industry standards for the effectiveness of solutions to associated threats, and our technology will provide hotels and their employees with the highest level of protection possible. “

In the midst of a historic pandemic-induced business downturn and recovery, a third of hotel and hotel workers have indicated that they have no plans to return to their pre-pandemic jobs. They name poor working conditions and stress as factors. According to a survey by UNITE Here 1, a Chicago hospitality advocacy group, 96% of housekeepers surveyed would feel safer with a “panic button,” mainly due to threats from guests.

ROAR for Good will be exhibiting at the HITEC this week in Dallas (booth 2525), where the company will also present its free ‘ROI calculator’ to assess risks and vulnerabilities in hotels. The tool will be available to hotel operators seeking a better understanding of the value and positive financial impact of associate dress solutions and how they can be correlated with improved employee morale, lower turnover and lower employee compensation claims. Various expenses can be calculated based on hotel-specific criteria to determine cost savings that are built into improved security protocols.

ROAR for Good is a Philadelphia-based technology company committed to promoting safe workplaces. The company’s own security platform AlwaysOn protects employees at the push of a button. AlwaysOn is powered by a unique and now patented Bluetooth low energy mesh network that makes it less vulnerable and provides a more stable connection. The patented technology was developed from the ground up with feedback from across the spectrum of hotel management and staff and is designed to call for help with the exact location of the wearer.
