SOLUTIONS Who Cover4 is for
One staff lane, set up for the way your site runs.
Every site below shares the same need: thousands of staff, or a small team in a loud room, must act on one order, and someone must be able to show who received it. The plan, the hardware count and the pilot differ by site type.
COMMON What every site gets
The same four parts at every site.
| Control center | Signs each order and sets its deadline. Runs on a laptop, with a backup that takes over. Built |
|---|---|
| Fixed nodes | Off-the-shelf boards (Heltec, RAK) in enclosures, mounted high, running Cover4 firmware. Venue network first, a LoRa radio network of the same nodes when it fails. Bench |
| Staff tag | Off-the-shelf tag (RAK WisMesh), worn by each staff member. Alerts and confirms with one button, with or without a phone. Bench |
| Phone | Optional. The Cover4 crew app, or your own app with the Cover4 SDK. Built |
| Planning call | Map the orders that matter: holds, evacuations, roll calls and help requests. |
|---|---|
| Site plan | Simulated coverage plan, zone by zone, at the worst end of every range. Simulated |
| Walk test | A range test on your site before any event sets the real node count, with a clear go or no-go. |
| Report | Delivery times, coverage, confirmations and the raw logs, so you can judge it on the numbers. |
STACK Who supplies what
Cover4 supplies the software. The hardware is off the shelf.
| Software and firmware | Cover4: control center, signing, record, node and tag firmware, SDK, crew app. |
|---|---|
| Nodes and tags | Heltec and RAK WisMesh boards and tags, bought from the vendors and loaded with Cover4 firmware. Cover4 does not make hardware. |
| Network and uplink | The site's wired network. Peplink or Starlink where the site has none. |
| Radios, console, PA | The site's own. Cover4 sits beside them. |
| Drones | A partner-operated drone for a targeted welfare check: it gives the operator eyes on the people who have not answered and re-links their staff radios and nodes, arriving 5 to 12 minutes after an incident is named and leaving about half of them unknown at the worst end (SIMULATED). Not coverage. In development; no partner yet; not available. Planned |
| Platform licence | One per site, per year. Control center, keys and support. |
|---|---|
| Staff seats | One per staff member. The tag is included in the seat. |
| Hardware | A pass-through line at the cost of the devices, or devices the site already owns. |
| Pilot | Free. The first five reference sites pay no deposit. |
