On January 30, 2015, during the ISPO Beijing Outdoor Trade Show, Green Field Network held a thematic seminar on outdoor safety at its company headquarters, attended by representatives from outdoor rescue teams and trip leaders across China.The event featured targeted discussions on the upcoming launch of the Green Field Outdoor Safety Platform and the Z1 satellite tracking device for outdoor use.
The Green Field Outdoor Safety Platform integrates the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System and GPS, as well as GSM and internet networks, enabling real-time, all-location information exchange between BeiDou terminals, mobile phones, and computers. This service offers three core functions—SOS emergency call, location sharing, and BeiDou messaging. The introduction of the “location sharing” feature fundamentally supports the rescue and search guidance needs of individuals engaged in outdoor activities and work. Prior to this, search and rescue operations in the wild were largely akin to “searching for a needle in a haystack” or conducting “blanket searches.” With this product, rescue teams can now conduct “precision strikes.” It has significantly improved the efficiency of locating and rescuing people outdoors while drastically reducing search and rescue costs.
Organizations invited to attend the seminar included the Green Field Rescue Team, the Yanjiao Branch of the Green Field Rescue Team, the One Foundation Rescue Alliance, the Oasis Emergency Rescue Promotion Center, the Golden Ocean Public Welfare Rescue Team, Langfang Black Horse Outdoor, Kashgar Tantu Outdoor Club, Xinjiang Mountain Friends Rescue Team, Xinjiang Zou8 Outdoor Club, Yunnan Huofeng Rescue Team, Shanxi Tianlong Rescue Team, Gansu Outdoor Rescue Team, Handan Outdoor Rescue Team, and more. Attendees agreed that the Green Field Outdoor Safety Platform and the Z1 outdoor tracker are outstanding products that are affordable and user-friendly for the general public, truly bringing BeiDou technology into everyday use. The innovative rental model introduced further greatly reduces usage costs, allowing more outdoor enthusiasts to benefit from the safety assurance provided by high-tech solutions.
Established in late 1998, Green Field Network is China’s first and currently largest outdoor travel activity website, wielding strong influence among outdoor sports enthusiasts. The launch of the Green Field Outdoor Safety Platform and the Z1 outdoor tracking device marks Green Field Network’s commitment to developing cost-effective BeiDou terminal equipment and providing high-quality operational services. Leveraging its platform advantages and the strong brand power of Trail Finder, the company will further enhance the outdoor safety platform and invite industry peers to participate, aiming for mutual benefits and greater safety for outdoor adventurers.
