Punch Rescue Launches Rescue Card Platform, a Panic Button Solution with Real-Time Visibility and Self-Management
Punch Rescue announced the launch of its Rescue Card Platform, a unified emergency communications system designed for real-world conditions. The platform provides real-time visibility into device health and location, along with self-management capabilities, enabling organizations to monitor and control safety infrastructure without relying on Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
Charlotte, NC, April 15, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Punch Rescue today announced the commercial availability of its Rescue Card Platform — a unified emergency communications infrastructure combining Rescue Cards, Rescue Repeaters, and an updated software dashboard. The platform delivers real-time visibility into panic-button device health and location, paired with self-management capabilities, so organizations can monitor, test, and control their safety infrastructure without relying on vendor support.
Most emergency communication systems are built for ideal conditions — applications that depend on Wi-Fi, cellular networks, and charged personal devices. Punch Rescue was built for the opposite assumption: that in a real emergency, networks congest, power fails, and the systems organizations rely on most often fail first.
The Rescue Card Platform operates on a patent-pending dedicated LoRa mesh network independent of Wi-Fi and cellular infrastructure. Rescue Repeaters plug into standard outlets and maintain constant signal strength throughout a facility, with internal battery backup that activates automatically if building power is lost. Rescue Cards require no phone, no app, and no network to activate — one press triggers an immediate alert.
“We built this platform around one principle: it has to work when everything else doesn’t,” said Greg Artzt, CEO of Punch Rescue. “Real-time visibility and self-management must be the foundation of a system organizations can actually trust when it matters most.”
The software dashboard provides live 24/7 monitoring of every device’s health, battery level, and connectivity. Staff can test any device with a single press and receive immediate confirmation. During an active incident, the dashboard delivers room-level location tracking on a dynamic map.
The Rescue Card Platform launches with integration partners including RapidSOS, Mappedin, and Lightspeed Notify. RapidSOS connects activated alerts directly to 911 and public safety agencies nationwide, transmitting real-time incident data the moment a panic button is activated. Mappedin provides dynamic indoor facility maps embedded within the dashboard, giving first responders and on-site safety staff accurate room-level location data during an active incident. Lightspeed Notify provides the emergency communication and management layer, enabling coordination between responders, automated distribution of response plans, real-time status tracking, and mass notifications.
The Rescue Card Platform is available now. K-12 schools, healthcare facilities, and enterprise campuses seeking a pilot program can contact Punch Rescue at sales@punchrescue.com, visit punchrescue.com/contact.
