It is mainly used for lone worker protection (LWP) in a range of industries (manufacturing, health, maintenance, transport, hotels etc.)
Miranda Joubioux (X) Sep 15, 2006:
Do we know in what context this alarm device would be used... industrial, marine, security?
Julie Barber Sep 15, 2006:
I found balise as 'beacon' on the net...also sites for blind people in French relating to 'balise sonore'...
Martin Cassell Sep 15, 2006:
From context + background, I wonder if this refers to remotely triggering (?telephone) messages to be sent to potential helpers, from a service centre.
Dr Sue Levy (X) Sep 15, 2006:
Or if you've lost the remote control (like when you misplace your mobile phone and you have to call yourself ;-))
Mark Nathan (asker) Sep 15, 2006:
I imagine it is for when you are searching for a "distressed" person who has sent out an alarm call and you want to the alarm to beep so that you can locate them.

same site, should you lose it, this is what you can do with it :-)

The Wayfinder beacon is highly versatile. It can be placed in bags and luggage. When the remote control button is pressed, the beacon emits the sound signal. The bag is then easily located.

RF beacon remote

This is just a guess...
Read this - It was the only example of the word beacon in the LWP context that I could find.
