9Month3, the leading brand in outdoor safety assuranceIRIMHailo, together with Taidou Microelectronics Technology, BaoYou Network, and Golden Eagle General Aviation, held the “Life Online – Outdoor Sports Safety Assurance Expert” launch event at the Guangdong Software Park, officially releasing China’s first outdoor sports safety assurance product that includes rescue services, insurance, and Beidou positioning.

Attending the launch were Hailo CEO Yan Zhiwei, Hailo brand ambassador and internationally renowned mountaineer Xia Boyu, Taidou Microelectronics Technology Chairman Gao Feng, Shenzhen BaoYou Network Technology Co., Ltd. CEO Huang Qin, Shanghai Golden Eagle General Aviation Co., Ltd. Vice President Huang Jian, Guangzhou Shouzheng Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd.

Dare to explore, return safely

Founded in 2015, Hailo Technology’s outdoor communication equipment enables users to access Beidou satellite positioning, track recording, and location sharing even without cellular signals in the wild, making it one of the most commonly used outdoor devices among hikers. “Life Online,” on the other hand, is a consumer-facing product that can be directly accessed via the Hailo mobile app.

Renowned mountaineer Xia Boyu, Hailo’s brand ambassador, who lost both legs, successfully summited Mount Everest for the fifth time this year. It is reported that his last attempt was in 2016, when he had to turn back just 94 meters from the summit due to a sudden blizzard. That decision not to push on led to this success. At the “Life Online” launch, he said that while reaching the summit is important, returning home safely is what truly matters.

“Dare to explore, return safely”—this has always been Hailo’s philosophy. The company specializes in providing comprehensive outdoor safety assurance services including hardware, software, and expert support. CEO Yan Zhiwei stated that while Hailo encourages people to explore nature and themselves, it also emphasizes the belief in a safe return—for oneself, one’s family, and society. “‘Life Online’ is no longer limited to professional outdoor enthusiasts; it allows ordinary people to access Beidou satellite positioning, helicopter rescue, and accident insurance claims at affordable prices.”

Guangzhou Shouzheng Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd.is an investor in Guangzhou Hailo, and itsChairman Huang Pan said the investment in Hailo was driven by the company’s firm commitment to protecting life and its relentless pursuit of outdoor safety.

A safety product every ordinary outdoor traveler needs

Many people assume that outdoor travel accidents mostly happen in snowy mountains, deserts, or other remote, uninhabited areas. They believe that if you’re just hiking in the suburbs on the weekend or visiting famous mountains during holidays, accidents are unlikely.

However, the reality is different.

The “2016 Mainland China Mountaineering and Outdoor Sports Accident Report” released by the Chinese Mountaineering Association shows that incidents are more likely to occur in the evening, during descent, on sunny days, and during unorganized activities. Getting lost is the top cause of accidents. This reflects that whether outdoor travel is safe depends more on travelers having adequate preparation and planning, outdoor experience, and good organization and discipline—while the harshness of the natural environment is actually a secondary factor.

As the economic conditions of Chinese citizens continue to improve, outdoor tourism is becoming increasingly popular. Statistics show that China’s outdoor population has reached 130 million, and there are over 30,000 informal adventure tourism clubs and registered adventure tourism enterprises. But compared to developed countries in Europe and America, Chinese outdoor tourists often lack experience, and the emergency rescue system is far from well-developed.

Hailo, which enjoys high recognition among professional hikers, has a deep understanding of the current state of emergency rescue in China. “Life Online” addresses existing shortcomings in terms of rescue coordination, efficiency, and costs.

It is a systematic product delivered through multi-party collaboration. Hailo primarily provides the app service and rescue coordination platform; Golden Eagle General Aviation is one of China’s largest private helicopter rescue companies; BaoYou Network is a professional travel insurance service platform; and Taidou Microelectronics Technology focuses on satellite navigation chip development and is one of the representatives of “China Chip.”

According to Xu Yanfeng, co-founder of Hailo, after purchasingthe “Life Online” safety assurance product,usersin case of dangercansend a distress signalvia the“Hailo Joint Rescue Platform”within theHailo app to their designated emergency contacts,which includes basic information such as accurate latitude and longitude, altitude, maps, reasons for distress, and conditions. After confirmingthe distress message, Hilamwill immediately activate local rescue coordinators,quickly determine the rescue plan, contact the nearest rescue team, public security bureau, and hospital to provide assistance,and can also offer helicopter rescue for those in need.

In addition,unlike most post-incident compensation insurance on the market, “Life Online”organically combinesinstant rescue serviceswith insurance,ensuring that rescue efforts are not delayed due to cost negotiation issues, significantly improving rescue efficiency. The insurance-based approach also enables ordinary people to access otherwise expensive services such as helicopter rescue.

Rescue coordinators have coverage across mainland China

Ordinary people engaging in outdoor travel need more professional rescue services, and “Life Online” was created to fill this gap. Behind “Life Online”isa team composed of professional outdoor travel enthusiasts.It is understood that Hilam rescue coordinators have coverage across mainland China, and Xia Boyu is also among them.

In addition, Wang Tiannan, the first Chinese person to summit Bogda Peak and an experienced outdoor emergency rescuer, wilderness first responder Mo Yan from the International Wilderness Medical Associates, Ma Jun, captain of the Tibet Manfeng Rescue Team under the One Foundation Rescue Alliance, and Hu Bin, chairman of the Zunyi Mountaineering Association—among other senior outdoor sports experts—responded immediately to Hilam and serve as rescue coordinators. Not only do they possess extensive outdoor experience, but they also maintain broad connections with rescue teams, public security departments, and hospitals nationwide, enabling them to mobilize the most effective resources in the shortest time possible.

It is understood that IRIM Hilam has collaborated with TaiDou Microelectronics Technology to independently develop satellite communication products such as satellite positioning, satellite phones, and satellite networks by integrating multiple satellite communication and positioning systems, including China’s BeiDou, the U.S. GPS, TianTong, and the Iridium satellite system. Products such as “Marine Treasure” and “Outdoor Treasure” have long been favored by sailors, outdoor enthusiasts, and rescue teams.

From hardware to software, and from software to human service, Hilam has always been committed to making outdoor travel safer, providing users with outdoor safety assurance services that ensure “never being out of touch and precise rescue.”
