MT Helmets’ new MT Alert system is said to help save lives. In the event of an accident or emergency, MT Alert allows a rider to send an SMS message, including GPS location, to multiple nominated recipients via a smartphone – without the need to remove the helmet or for voice activation.
MT Alert is based on the Near Field Communication (NFC) NearVox platform. The helmet has a designated area on the chin bar where, if an NFC-enabled smartphone is held near for ten seconds, it will automatically activate, sending the emergency text message. The ten-second delay allows the system to be turned off if unintentionally activated.
Once the smartphone and helmet have been brought together for the first time, the NearVox software is installed permanently. Phone and helmet are linked from then on. This can also be done manually from the smartphone’s menu.
The system is absolutely free, with no subscriptions or costly apps, and it’s available now with the new MT Blade helmet.
A spokesman for MT said: “For retailers, there’s nothing better than a unique selling point to help shift a product and if that USP is also an active safety feature, and it doesn’t cost the customer any extra, it’s got to be a triple whammy from MT Helmets. With the Blade, you’re selling peace of mind.”
