Our mission is to create safer working environments for remote employees, making EVERYWHERE Communications a vital part of front-line relief and critical moments around the globe. A recent example of this is the critical connectivity EVERYWHERE provided to Wildland Firefighters in the western United States. An EVERYWHERE-equipped Wildland Firefighter shared with us that, “having access to the exact location of resources on a fire is a game-changer, and another step towards safer wildland firefighting.”

Can you explain how the EVERYWHERE Platform works and how it’s been used for COVID-19 contact tracing?

Covid-19 has ravaged the planet and every company wants to ensure their employees minimize the risk of exposure. Contact tracing is an important tool to help with this. Organizations want to monitor their employees’ movements, especially when in small, indoor, and shared spaces. If a positive case comes back, administrators need to know when, where and who was in close contact.

With EVERYWHERE’s key feature Geofence alerts, customers can draw a geofence boundary around their various offices. Every time an employee using the EVERYWHERE App or Garmin inReach enters or exits the Geofence (or office), a notification is triggered. If an employee does indeed test positive for Covid-19, administrators can track the notification flow and identify which of their other employees may need to be tested or quarantined. At EVERYWHERE, we are proud to play a part in controlling the global pandemic and reducing the spread of coronavirus.
