Q: Other Independent Living systems seem to need a phone line, or a broadband connection at the residence-- how about SimplyHome?
A: SimplyHome needs neither. It makes use of a 2-way radio network. Each SimplyHome unit has an antenna (see picture below), that at all times is sending data about the residence's sensor activity through the sky to the Network Operating Center, where the data is processed and made available to Caregivers in real-time via the web and via PDA, and alerts & notifications are sent based on rules that have been set by the Lead Caregiver.
The system can be placed virtually anywhere in the residence, on a table or mounted on the wall. The antenna does NOT need a line-of-sight to the sky.
