The Polte Proximity solution is comprised of a small, lightweight, rechargeable Mobile IoT device worn together with an employee’s existing ID badge or facility access card, the Polte IoT Cloud, and actionable analytics accessible from a standard web browser.  The Polte Proximity device securely connects to ubiquitous 4G LTE and 5G cellular networks and cloud computing infrastructure to contact trace employees indoors, outdoors and between company facilities. Devices connect right out of the box – no need to install beacons or other infrastructure.

Polte Proximity empowers employees while at work through social distancing alerts and a self-reporting feature. An employee can press a button on the Mobile IoT sensor to immediately and privately notify their employer of unsafe conditions in any area of a company facility, indoors or outdoors. Also, since Polte Proximity utilizes a low-cost dedicated device, the device can be left at the office or turned off when an employee goes home.
