Punch Rescue

Punch Rescue provides emergency communication infrastructure for schools, campuses, and healthcare facilities. Wearable Rescue Cards and a private LoRa mesh pair with Mappedin indoor maps so staff can trigger a one-press alert and responders see the incident location on the floor plan in real time.

Punch Rescue

Benefits​

  • Room-level incident location. A pressed Rescue Card updates its location on the Mappedin floor plan in real time, rather than reporting a static last-known position.
  • Indoor wayfinding for responders. Mappedin indoor maps provide hallway, stairwell, and room-level navigation for arriving officers and EMS.
  • Unified map of safety devices. Rescue Cards, Repeaters, and Base Stations are shown on the floor plan alongside other safety assets such as AEDs and fire extinguishers, including device health status.
  • Multi-building and multi-campus support. A single operations console can monitor multiple buildings, each with its own Mappedin map.

Get Started​

Contact Punch Rescue to scope a deployment and receive a hardware kit. If a Mappedin map is not yet available, contact Mappedin to get started.

Prerequisites​

  • A Mappedin indoor map for each building to be covered. Contact Mappedin if a map is not yet available.
  • A Punch Rescue hardware kit (Rescue Cards, Rescue Repeaters, and Rescue Base Stations).
  • A Punch Rescue admin account.

Configuration Instructions​

Step 1: Install the Hardware​

Plug Repeaters and Base Stations into standard outlets in the areas that need coverage, then distribute Rescue Cards to staff.

Step 2: Import Floor Plans​

In the Punch Rescue console, create an admin account and load the Mappedin floor plans for each building.

Step 3: Place Devices on the Map​

Using the Rescue Mobile app and console, place each Rescue Card, Repeater, and Base Station on its room on the Mappedin floor plan. Other safety assets such as AEDs and fire extinguishers can be placed in the same step.

Step 4: Configure Alerts and Escalation​

Configure Test, Level 1, and Level 2 alert behaviors, Rescue 911 (RapidSOS) linkage, Repeater strobes and sounds, escalation routing, and any integration with STOPit Notify or an existing mass-notification tool.

Step 5: Validate with Single-Press Testing​

A staff member can press a Rescue Card to confirm the device and its location on the map.

Step 6: Go Live​

Once devices are placed and alerts are configured, the system is live. The console provides device-health visibility, on-demand testing, and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates.
