PTI phone: what do you need to know?

Written by editor

The PTI phone, also known as GSM DATI or PTI smartphone, is a cell phone for protecting isolated workers. Thanks to a native application, like other PTI-DATI devices, it can detect and report falls (loss of verticality or absence of movement), discomfort or aggression.

There are two types of DATI phone:

The PTI smartphone or PTI phone with a built-in native application: its PTI application cannot be uninstalled, deleted or deactivated by the user. Thus, it guarantees that all lone workers always have functional protection.
Applications to be installed on the lone worker's smartphone: these applications downloadable from app stores are offered with a monthly paid subscription. They offer basic PTI functions.

At first glance, companies consider this solution to avoid extra costs and quickly protect lone workers. However, unlike a PTI phone's native application, it can be removed. It therefore does not guarantee protection that is always effective and continuous.

How does the PTI phone work in the event of danger?

With a DATI phone, an alarm can be triggered in two different ways:

Manually: when the worker is conscious, he can activate an alarm himself simply by pressing the phone's emergency buttons. DATI smartphones are generally equipped with a discreetly accessible SOS button to trigger an aggression alert.
Automatically: in the event that the lone worker is unconscious, the alarm can be triggered automatically. The phone can effectively detect a fall or immobility and send out an accident alert.
