Silent Beacon Personal Safety Device
Tue, 08/06/2019 - 18:48 - Laurie Orlov
Silent Beacon is a wearable, wireless panic-button device that connects to smartphones, tablets and other compatible Bluetooth™ devices. Unlike other safety devices, with one button push the Beacon can place a call to 911 or to another emergency contact while simultaneously alerting up to 6 additional contacts with a text, email, and live tracking GPS location — so you can use the Beacon to talk to emergency responders while also letting your loved ones know you need help immediately.
- A Thompson Reuters Survey ranks the U.S. as the 10th most dangerous country for women. This fact is disturbing, considering that we are the only Western nation to appear in the top 10.
- It’s even worse for college women: Nearly 27% of female coeds have experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact (Source: National Sexual Violence Resource Center).
- Census figures and research indicate that approximately one in 11 Americans aged 50 and older live alone, increasing the risk that a vulnerable senior won’t receive a timely response in an emergency.
At last, an effective solution…
Fighting these statistics lies at the core of Silent Beacon LLC. Kenny Kelley, entrepreneur, founder and president of Silent Beacon LLC, envisioned an opportunity to address safety and security by using the amazing technology already available on our smartphones and tablets to assist loved ones in emergencies faster.
What is Silent Beacon?
Silent Beacon is a wearable wireless panic button that connects to smartphones, tablets and other compatible Bluetooth™ devices to reach loved ones, 911, and other emergency services. By pressing the device’s button, you can send text messages, push notifications, email and voice calls to pre-stored emergency contacts.

- Works internationally
- GPS live tracking
- Two-way communication device thoughtfully designed for easy activation and avoidance of false alerts
