Introducing Katana Safety, the world’s first personal security system that attaches directly to your smartphone, so you never have to remember to bring it with you. The Katana Arc comes with a one month free of our 24/7 Response Center subscription. You can find more subscription options when you download the smartphone app and pair it with your Katana Arc. The patent-pending Katana Arc attaches directly to a smartphone or case so it’s always with you. Unlike pepper spray or a stun gun (which can have age requirements to carry), anyone can use the Arc. And because it’s not considered a weapon, Katana can go anywhere you go: classrooms, dorm rooms, workplaces—even through airport security. The Arc is the first of three layers of defense offered by the Katana Safety solution. It features two types of alarms. The first is a piercing audible siren that can be activated with just the flick of a finger or by using the ingenious hidden wristband. The second alarm is a discreet, silent-alert button for use in an uncomfortable situation when a loud siren might not be appropriate. Both alerts bypass the user’s locked home screen (iOS or Android) to contact the second layer of defense: Katana’s 24/7 Response Center. Critical to the system, Katana’s technology knows a user’s location once an alert is activated so, if necessary, an agent can contact the closest emergency services as well as initiate Katana’s third layer of defense: texting and calling the user’s Katana Circle—up to seven pre-determined contacts who will be sent a map of their loved one’s location, and who can then join a private conference call to coordinate next steps.
