...Smartphone App Saves Idaho Skier continued
Eliot Gillum, inventor and CEO of AirFlare, was ecstatic. "It's our founding dream come true to have made the difference in someone coming home safely," Gillum said. "Mishaps can happen to anyone at any time -- sometimes it's weather, lack of preparedness, or just bad luck. But AirFlare is serious protection that everyone can have on them all the time. "Research shows more than 90 percent of people bring their phone on outdoor activities. Leveraging the relentless innovation and unlimited potential of smart phones makes AirFlare uniquely affordable to many times more people versus traditional rescue systems and -- critically -- is equally more likely to be present when needed." According to Gillum, the core functionality of AirFlare's smartphone app, which is designed for strong, spotty, or zero connectivity, makes the phone instantly locatable by rescuers via even a fleeting Internet connection. In addition, the company offers rescuers their proprietary detector hardware that uses WiFi and Bluetooth to find a phone from up to 1km away. Friends and family can also use the app to check in via the same Internet-based technology as rescuers. For rescuers, Gillum said AirFlare is a powerful toolset that makes them more efficient and effective at locating and assisting people in need of help. A web or app-based console allows rescuers to initiate searches for AirFlare users or send an SMS message to non-AirFlare users allowing manual location transmission. And... the applications go far beyond ski areas, according to Lee. "Virtually anyone who adventures in the outdoors can benefit from using AirFlare, including anglers, ATV and UTV riders, bicyclists and mountain bikers, birders, boaters, canoers, dirt bikers, hikers and trail runners, horseback riders, hunters, kayakers, rafters, rock climbers, snowmobilers, and snowshoers," Lee said. "You can even use it to find your friends at music festivals and theme parks. In all those environments, cellular service is often less than perfect and AirFlare's unique technology shines."
