Senior Apartment in Beijing, China

Challenge

Today's high-end senior housing is built with luxury facilities, such as movie theater, fitness center, salon, spa, restaurant, and shopping center. This represents a unique opportunity to promote e-commerce in such versatile community. Also as the world's population grows older, families and facility management need to know that independent seniors can have the care they need around the clock no matter where they may be. To identify the location of the emergency request in a large high-end facility becomes increasing challenging.

Solution

Helicomm's solution is based upon a wireless mesh architecture that provides real-time identification, location and e-commerce information of seniors, who carry Helicomm's credit card size mobile tags. It covers both indoor and outdoor areas, and reduces blind spots. It provides accurate location to avoid false detection from the adjacent apartments. Helicomm's proven wireless mesh technology is reliable and offers the advantage of ease of installation. 

Helicomm successfully deployed this solution in the largest senior apartment facility in Beijing in Q3 2007. The facility built up in three phases includes 3000 apartments, one hospital, shopping facilities, restaurants and fitness centers. It has 2.5 millions square feet residential space and approximately 5 millions square feet outdoor space. The first phase is now under operation. A few replications of similar solutions have been underway since then.
