Sos Beacon Using Arduino

In today’s world, the need for reliable emergency communication systems has grown significantly, especially for individuals working or traveling in areas with limited or no cellular connectivity. The development of reliable emergency communication systems has become more important in the current world, especially for people operating or traveling to places with little to no cellular coverage. The SOS Beacon which uses an accelerometer, GPS, LoRa, and Arduino works as a practical aid to this problem. The SOS Beacon system automatically identifies emergency situations such as falling or being motionless and autonomously sends critical location information in real-time over vast distances and without the use of mobile networks. This system, by using open-source hardware components that operate on low power, is a useful device that can aid and save lives of hikers, outdoor operators, disaster recovery workers, elderly people, among others. This study investigates the design, functionality, and potential advancements of the SOS Beacon toward modern emergency response infrastructures.
