May I ask if your agenda is your degree in engineering, your concern for lives, a potential lucrative future - or all?
That aside, and as I'm sure you know, an SMS isn't exactly always the swiftest means of communication
or reliable means of SOS - and GPS can take a while too. Wot no signal!
Maybe it’s just as a back-up to calling a
real person where you
know someone has heard you and is 'on the case'?
Ideally, the gold trophy for what you are suggesting would go to a system like
Tunstall which does not suffer from the same hiccups of reception from RF on good or bad days etc. and you get some feedback that your SOS has been 'heard' from a human being and if you
don't reply you know help
is on its way.
Not saying you are not onto something, but feedback and reassurance that you have
actually made contact means everything when you are in dire need of assistance! (I know these things
).
I like your bones, but I need more meat.
To put it another way, and with respect, it doesn’t sound too far from a flare which goes off on impact. Will anyone see it or not?
I have no idea; I just know I’m bleeding to death at the side of a road where reception is crap and who’s to say which would work better...
