The Competition
With the older style medical pendant, you are limited by the location of the base unit because you have to be within range to hear the monitoring center talking to you.
If you are too far away from the base unit or not in the room where the base unit is, you cannot hear the emergency operator, you won't be able to tell the operator what the emergency is, or worse yet, you won't know if anyone has been contacted! They don't tell you this in the TV ads.
Freedom Monitor
Freedom Monitor's base station plugs into any standard telephone jack and will allow you to communicate your message directly through the pendant instantly and efficiently from within hundreds of feet of your base unit without having to yell back to the room where the base unit is plugged in!
The system should easily cover your average home and into the front, back and side yards.
