Silent Beacon
Silent Beacon is a wearable, wireless panic-button device that connects to smartphones, tablets, and other compatible Bluetooth devices. One button push allows the Beacon to place a call to 911 while simultaneously alerting up to six additional contacts with a text, email, and live tracking GPS location.
Silent Beacon grew out of the founder’s own brush with death in a motorcycle accident. Former Hollywood stuntman and YouTuber Kenny Kelley crashed while popping a wheelie on his motorcycle at 70 mph and couldn’t reach his cell phone to call anyone as he lay on the side of the road. In those long minutes of desperation, the idea for a wearable emergency communication device was born. After recovering from that crash, Kelley created Silent Beacon, which launched in March 2019. $99.99
