Semtech (SMTC) and iWOW Technology have successfully implemented a LoRaWAN®-based emergency alert system in Singapore's senior public housing. The system, deployed since 2019 in 10,000 public housing flats, has helped approximately 800 seniors receive emergency medical care.

The battery-powered system features wall-mounted red buttons that connect to a 24-hour response center and notify next of kin through an app. Notably, 98% of the original devices remain functional after five years due to LoRa® low power capabilities. The program, part of Singapore's Ministry of Health Age Well SG initiative, will expand to serve an additional 27,000 seniors across 170 public rental housing blocks.

The solution was chosen for its minimal maintenance requirements, low energy consumption, and cost-effective network infrastructure for dense housing blocks, while offering potential support for future IoT applications.
