New Xsense system can also help save people from the depths of the ocean

New Xsense system can also help save people from the depths of the ocean

Xsense Information Service, a Thai developer of vehicle tracking and fleet management system, is launching a new Tourism Safety Support and Management System that can track people both on land and sea, so they can be rescued in cases of emergency.

The company is working with CAT Telecom, Thai Embedded Systems Association (TESA), the National Innovation Agency (NIA) and local tour operators to test the system in Phuket. 
Thitima Suwanarat, managing director of Xsense, said the system was designed in line with the government’s safety standards and can be activated via a wristband or sensor attached to a life jacket. It notifies the Control and Command Centre immediately in case of emergencies.
The system can also be adapted based on each user’s needs and used through both computers and mobile devices. 
“This project has been created to help tackle problems, so Thailand can enter international levels in tourism,” Thitima said.
Colonel Sanpachai Huvanandana, president of CAT Telecom, said CAT supports Long-Range Wide Area Networks (Lorawan) to test sensors implemented on ships and attached to life jackets on the Andaman Sea. 
“We began the first pilot project in Phuket and are ready to provide the Lorawan network to cover other tourist destinations,” he said. 
Watchara Chatwiriya, president of TESA, said the association was coordinating with government agencies and other partners to help test the product. “We play a key role in helping our members grow and become more competitive in the market,” he said.  
Pariwat Wongsamran, director of innovate entrepreneurship development at NIA, said the system is easy to use and allows users to control and manage the system through a single window. He said it also includes a hotspot feature offering internet access to tourists even in the middle of the sea. It can support several networks, including Lora, VHM and mobile networks in Thailand.
