How it Works
The ROAR 911 panic button quickly calls police and emergency services through RapidSOS, the intelligent safety platform covering 99.99% of the US population.
Contactless escalation to 911 — without false alarms
- Staff activates a 911 alert with a press of the button.
- RapidSOS is instantly notified. Location data is captured and validated in real time to eliminate false alarms.
- Local 911 is notified. Alert data is seamlessly shared with the local Emergency Communication Center (ECC) for dispatch.
- First responders arrive fast. Responders know exactly where to go — down to the precise floor and room — when seconds matter.
Live monitoring by RapidSOS verifies every alert, reduces false alarms, and speeds dispatch. Location continues to be shared with police, fire, or other first responders even if the person moves after sending the alert.
For emergency situations such as theft or a medical crisis, ROAR’s 911 Panic Button is a critical component of a comprehensive duress system.

Frequently Asked Questions
ROAR’s system gives you the ability to cover all areas of your property, including stairwells, rooftops, outdoor spaces, and parking garages.
With ROAR’s standalone solution, coverage is completely independent of external Wi-Fi and LTE networks. The system was intentionally built to address dead spots so there is no singular point of failure.
With other panic button solutions, you get a one-to-one or one-to-many Bluetooth solution usually requiring a Wi-Fi connection or a single hub or router, which could disrupt communication. ROAR’s Bluetooth mesh technology provides a many-to-many connection, enabling redundancy of communication.
With our BLE mesh technology, devices are connected to each other in a way that allows for multiple pathways for data to travel from one device to another. This means that if one device is unable to communicate directly with another device, the data can still be routed through other devices in the network to reach its destination. Unlike other BLE solutions that may rely on a single hub or router, this ensures reliability and resiliency because there isn’t a single point of failure that would otherwise disrupt communication. It’s also useful in disaster situations where some devices may be damaged or offline. Contact us to learn more about the differences between Bluetooth panic buttons and Bluetooth mesh technology.
Yes, depending on how it is built. ROAR’s mesh technology allows communication between multiple devices and removes the need for smartphones, and cellular or Wi-Fi networks that may be prone to dead zones. In our BLE mesh network, each Smart Beacon on the network can communicate with other devices on the network. This means that if one fails or goes offline, the others can still communicate with each other, making the network more resilient and reliable. Additionally, mesh networks can be easily expanded by adding more Smart Beacons, allowing them to grow and adapt to changing needs while increasing the network’s redundancy capacity.
ROAR’s BLE mesh technology works independently of your Wi-Fi system. If you would like to leverage your Wi-Fi, we offer a tier that is used in combination with an LTE connection to transfer all your messages from the gateway to the cloud server, ensuring reliability for your staff.
All your network components report their ‘heartbeat’ to the cloud server multiple times an hour. If one of the components does not respond, a notification is immediately sent to your property. Furthermore, the network is self-healing, and will maintain its integrity using its redundancies, whether it’s the Smart Beacons or Gateway. Our proactive monitoring team will also reach out to help get your network back to 100% health.
We offer a web portal and email reporting sent daily, weekly, or monthly based on your preference.
ROAR’s 911 Panic button service is available as an add-on product to one or all of the devices you purchase in the core solution. This service can be purchased via a static button mounted to one station or via our wearable and dynamic location devices.
