If I'm reading some other things I found right, the City of Chicago code that has been in place for 2 years requires the panic button to have GPS, and be able to update it's exact location in real time once activated.

If I read it right, an on person dongle is sufficient

    I installed a panic button system for a contractor with several
    panic buttons in key locations near surveillance camera monitors
    covering all doors, parking lots and hall ways ..all of the
    management staff have small remotes they can use to trigger alarm
    and 100dB klaxon ...we test it every two months...all UHF...
    The controller can be wired and used for a lot more applications.
    I don't think I would trust WiFi based system...but I am open to
    learning about them.

We're in Illinois, and provide Internet/WIFI to a hotel. We're being
        told by the hotel owner that there is a new regulation (we
        don't know if
        it's state or federal) that there needs to be a panic button
        in every room.

        The guy selling them the system says that it is all WIFI
        based.  1
        device per room

        It is supposedly only for staff use

        So they're wanting to add a mess of devices to the WIFI in the
        hotel.
        Not really a big deal, there's more than enough capacity.

        But A number of things are not making sense with this:

        Why would a Panic button be WIFI based and not 400khz to a
        local receiver?

        If it's only for staff, why is there a need for one in each
        room and not
        just a panic button carried on their person?

        I know others on this list service/manage hotels. Have you heard
        anything about this?
