Many people still believe violence on college and university campuses is rare. A survey conducted by the Association of American Universities (AAU) indicated among female undergraduate college students 23.1 percent said they experienced some form of unwanted sexual misconduct. Our friends at Katana are determined to change these numbers and have developed a uniquely innovative personal safety device to help alleviate these concerns. Helping to keep students secure, the Katana Safety is the worlds first security system that attaches to your smart phone.
This Katana personal security system features a triple layered approach with a
- QUICK-TRIGGER KATANA ARC – A hidden quick-release wristband featuring both a piercing audible alarm, and adiscreet silent alarm that all alerts a 24/7 Response Center.
- KATANA RESPONSE CENTER – Trained agents ready to respond to any crisis or uncomfortable situation
- KATANA APP – Set up contact notifications (Katana Circle), location notification, and manage alerts.
The foundation of the system is the Katana Arc, a one-of-a-kind security system that travels with you on your smartphone. The patent-pending, ultra-slim Arc is both an audible alarm and relay panic button in one device. The black tab at the top of the Katana Arc pulls into a wristband that you can wear. By detaching this cord from your phone, you connect to the 24/7 response center and an alert is sent to your friends.
By detaching the cord, you connect to the 24/7 response center
The raised button just below the Katana Arc is your silent alarm. Press this if you need to discreetly call for help or alert your circle to your location. The red switch at the bottom of the Katana Arc activates a loud alarm. Should you need to also alert the people around you, it’s right there at your fingertips.
Setting up the Katana Arc can be done with 5 easy steps
i) Wake up the device by holding the button until the LED light starts blinking.
ii) Download the Katana app
iii) Pair your Arc to your smart phone
iv) Build your inner (trusted) notification circle and set up your profile
v) Secure the Katana Arc to your smart home with the adhesive backing
Although the genesis for the solution was to stop the epidemic of sexual assault on college campuses, the Katana Safety team believes their solution will help in countless other situations, as well. This solution is ideal protection also for shared-ride passenger, solo travelers or even a senior living alone.
