The Help Flash IoT connected beacon, the first v16 signal developed by Netun Solutions, went on sale yesterday (Friday) obtaining the approval of the DGT. On December 20th the Royal Decree regulating roadside assistance services was published, and Vodafone is now ahead of its competitors and will start selling the beacon in their phone shops, through telesales, and digital channels, the My Vodafone app and its website.
Initially, these beacons, which replace the traditional emergency triangles, will be available for 49.95 euros to anyone, whether a Vodafone cusromer or not, and go up to 59.95 euros from February 28th.
This price includes connectivity to the Vodafone network for 12 years, however, purchasers who buy them before it becomes mandatory in January 2026 will have additional connectivity free of charge, giving them connected devices from now until 2038.
Help Flash IoT is an independent, connected emergency beacon light that emits an intense yellow flash, which is visible in all directions from more than a kilometre away at night.
In the event of an accident or breakdown, when the device is activated, a notification is sent to the traffic authority’s control centre indicating its exact location. The information received by the centre is anonymous and therefore does not include name, registration number, or any other personal data that could allow the user to be identified.
