MoMoDC Nominates Rave Wireless for MoMo Global Peer Awards
Rave Wireless has been nominated by the MobileMonday DC Chapter to compete in the 2007 Global Peer Awards in Barcelona, Spain.
Rodger Desai, president and chief executive officer of Rave Wireless, will be presenting at the company's many innovative services created for the youth of America. One feature service for colleges and university includes Rave Guardian. Rave Guardian is a mobile phone application available to students to use if and when they want. A student who feels unsafe can simply activate a timer on the mobile phone that alerts campus safety if it is not turned off within a set period of time. If the alarm goes off, campus safety will call the phone to ensure everything is all right. In the scenarios where there is no answer of there is a problem, Rave Guardian instantly displays the student's location along with any other pertinent information, such as medical conditions, photograph and local address. Since Rave Guardian uses the same GPS technologies as E911 emergency centers, students can use it on- or off-campus and anywhere in the U.S.
Global Peer Awards 2007 is a competition open to the best-in- breed start-ups who have demonstrated exceptionally innovative mobile technologies. Previously selected by MobileMonday local chapters, the companies will compete live before the community and a world-class jury to win the MobileMonday Global Peer Award title.
Among all the finalists three awards will be given: the 'Expert Jury Award' - sponsored by Reitek - will be assigned by the expert to the first global winner, the 'Audience Award' will be given by the audience to the second winner once the live SMS voting round is closed, while the 'MoMo Community Award' will be assigned by the MobileMonday chapter organizers to the third and final one.
