The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) today recognized the makers of ZOMM for its application of Bluetooth technology in the world’s first wireless leash for mobile phones that also features call notification and personal security capabilities. Capturing a 2010 Best of Innovations Award at CES, this device has been recognized by the Bluetooth SIG as “One to Watch” because of its multiple use case scenarios, broad consumer appeal, and conventional application of wireless technology.
ZOMM features simple functionality and convenient use case scenarios. Using Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1+EDR, ZOMM detects if its wirelessly connected mobile phone is a certain distance from it -“ if so, it alerts the owner via vibration, flashing lights and even sounds an alarm. The device also features call notification and speakerphone capabilities that allows users to answer calls directly from the device. Additionally, ZOMM contains a panic alarm that can call emergency assistance from anywhere in the world with just the push of a button.
“ZOMM revolutionized the Bluetooth wireless peripherals market by taking a new concept and coupling it with existing technology,” said Peter Hauser, chief technical officer of ZOMM. “ZOMM is the solution to a common problem of losing one’s mobile phone and has become a must have accessory for the many Bluetooth enabled mobile phone users around the globe.”
ZOMM is available for pre-order now at zomm.com and will be available for retail purchase this summer.
