Turn any event into an action.
A button press. A sensor reading. A missed call. A device going offline. NocTel can use any of them to start the response you define.
Start with an event.
Something happens.
- A teacher presses an emergency button.
- A freezer rises above a safe temperature.
- A gateway loses its connection.
- A call queue grows too long.
- A door opens after hours.
NocTel recognizes the event and starts the next step.
Define the response.
- Send a text.
- Make a call.
- Notify a team.
- Begin a page.
- Change a screen.
- Show a location.
- Work through an escalation list.
- Connect another system.
One event can begin a simple notification, or a larger response across your organization.
Describe what needs to happen.
Type it:
For more involved systems, start with a whiteboard sketch. Take a picture. NocTel turns it into an editable action map and asks questions where it needs more information.
Connect the things around you.
NocTel can respond to events from anything that can report one.
Each one gives NocTel something useful to act on.
Sensors
- Temperature: coolers, freezers, rooms
- Contact: doors and windows
- Motion: rooms and entries
- Leak & water: closets and floors
Access & safety
- Door locks & access control
- Alarms
- Bells & intercoms
- Paging speakers & screens
Existing systems
- LoRaWAN networks & sensors
- Bluetooth devices
- Your WiFi network
- Hardware you already own
Start with one problem.
You don’t have to connect everything at once.
Start with the event that matters now. Add more when it becomes useful.
It works when WiFi doesn’t.
Events reach NocTel on their own radio, not your WiFi, not a cell signal.
- 900MHz and LoRa: no WiFi, no cell, no internet to fail
- Through walls and dead zones: a mile outdoors, 1,500 feet in
- A gateway carries every device to NocTel
A reading from the basement still gets through.
Manage every device in one place.
The same place you manage your phones shows every device you’ve connected.
- Live status, battery, and signal for every device
- An alert before one runs low, not after it goes dark
- One site or many, from the same screen
One event can set several things in motion.
- A teacher presses an emergency button.
- The front office receives the alert.
- The classroom location appears on a screen.
- A page begins across the building.
- The right people receive a call.
The response is already moving.
Keep the response visible.
Every action leaves a record.
- See the event.
- See the response.
- See where it succeeded.
- See where it failed.
- See what happened next.
NocTel Desk keeps the full path in one place.
A signal in. An action out. All in Desk.
The event
- Temperature out of range
- Door or window opened
- Motion detected
- Water or leak
- Button pressed
- Queue threshold
- Network or device offline
- Custom thresholds
The response
- Text, call, or email
- Page the halls
- Change a screen
- Show a location
- Lock or unlock doors
- Sound an alarm
- Work an escalation list
- Log it or hit a webhook
The network
- 900MHz & LoRa radio
- Through walls & dead zones
- Gateway bridge to the cloud
- No WiFi dependency
- Coexists with LoRaWAN
- Bluetooth compatible
In Desk
- Live status of every device
- Battery & signal health
- Alerts before a device fails
- Full history of every event
- One site or many
- Set a rule once
The same engine that routes your calls runs your devices.
An event isn’t off in its own app. Because it runs in the same Desk as the rest of NocTel, a single signal can ring a phone, page the halls, or change a screen the moment it happens.
Questions about Controls.
Anything that can report an event: buttons, sensors, phones, screens, gateways, doors, queues, network connections, controls, and other systems. If it can signal that something happened, NocTel can act on it.
Not for the core. Buttons and sensors run on the same 900MHz and LoRa radio as the Now devices, through walls to a gateway that bridges to NocTel. WiFi can be one of the connected things, but the signal doesn’t depend on it.
Describe it in plain language, or sketch it on a whiteboard and take a picture. NocTel turns it into an editable action map and asks questions where it needs more. You set the rule once, and it runs on its own.
Now is for a person who presses a button to signal for help. Connected Devices is the wider idea: any event from any source becoming any response. Same radio network, same Desk.
