You’ve probably heard the scenario. Suddenly, who knows why, the elevator stops and you’re left all alone in it waiting for a neighbour to come by and call the engineers to fix the damn thing.
Thanks to the new Ascom’s system called UPAC you won’t have to wait anyone to alert the repair workers — the system will handle all the alerting automatically by sending a text message to predefined numbers when elevator stops.
According to Ascom’s Product Manager Torbjorn Enberg, “the application ensures that a message always will reach its target. For example if a lone worker presses the alarm button the system will pinpoint the location and notify a responsible person to assist. If he/she is unavailable or can not answer, the alarm can be directed to the next person/team or be sent to a GSM mobile.”
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Too bad it’s a brand new thing and probably costs a fortune…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
