When a person goes missing, time becomes the most valuable resource. Emergency teams mobilize immediately to begin the search, and every second counts. In these critical missions, having tools that increase the chances of success can mean the difference between life and death.
That is why many search and rescue (SAR) teams rely on technology to maximize the effectiveness of their operations and locate the person in need of help as quickly as possible. One example is Lifeseeker, a solution developed to help locate missing persons quickly, accurately, and safely.
What is Lifeseeker and how does it work?
Lifeseeker is the airborne phone location system, a technology capable of finding missing people through their mobile phone geolocation, even in areas with no network coverage. It turns mobile phones into emergency beacons that guide rescue teams to the exact location of the missing person.
Lifeseeker is used exclusively by qualified operators, within a very strict framework and under the supervision of the competent authorities. Its objective is clear: to help save lives in missions where every second counts and there is no room for error.
Privacy is not an option; it is a principle. Lifeseeker has been designed from the ground up with this in mind.
But what sets it apart from a conventional tower?
Lifeseeker
- Does not identify the person using the phone
- Does not access calls
- Does not access messages
- Does not access personal data
- Does not interfere with the public network
- Main purpose: SAR
Real Cell Tower
- Can identify the person using the phone
- Access calls
- Access messages
- Access personal data
- Possible network congestion
- Main purpose: Commercial service
At CENTUM, we develop technological solutions with real impact. We believe that innovation must always go hand in hand with ethics, and Lifeseeker is an example of how technology can be a key ally in protecting life, without compromising fundamental rights such as privacy.
