Our CareCall Wireless System offers a flexible, efficient alternative to traditional hardwired systems with many benefits.
What is CareCall Wireless?
As a specialist emergency call system CareCall Wireless is designed for environments where cabling is challenging or even in some cases impossible to install without large expense. The wireless setup allows the system to be retrofitted easily, making it ideal for large or small facilities, independent living settings, and sites like retirement villages with expansive layouts.
CareCall Wireless uses Inovonics’ robust backbone technology, CareCall Wireless operates in the license free bands of 915 to 928MHz frequency in Australia and 921 to 928MHz frequency in New Zealand. This is not the normal home Wi-Fi system, with the peaks and troughs of everyday usage. The versatility of the system enables it to be integrated seamlessly with other solutions, including CareCall4 via CareCall EDGE, for streamlined reporting and platform functionality.

Why choose CareCall Wireless?
Well it’s easy. Easy installation, easy to maintain and easy on the mind because of it’s stability as a long life solution.
Ease of Installation and Retrofit Capabilities
CareCall Wireless can be quickly installed, even in existing facilities, without the need for disruptive cabling. The system has options to operate entirely on battery or can be powered by a hardwired connection, making it flexible enough to fit any infrastructure. For settings like independent living communities this flexibility can mean significant savings where wiring individual units is costly and labour-intensive.
It is also quick to install. For example, work onsite for a large facility with 100 beds could be completed within a couple of weeks – half the time of the hardwired alternatives which helps in minimising budgets and disruption to residents and staff.
Low Maintenance and High Durability
Minimal maintenance requirements ensure routine system checks are straightforward and low-cost. Annual reviews of signal strength can assist in identifying and addressing any minor adjustments. The system’s components, including repeaters, are backed by internal batteries for continued operation including during power outages. In one instance repeaters lasted 30 days on battery power alone before a low-battery warning appeared – giving peace of mind and highlighting durability for ease of business continuity.
Stability and Lifespan
With a two-year warranty and low replacement rates, CareCall Wireless devices offer an impressive lifespan, even under frequent use. Technicians report minimal need for repairs or service calls, reflecting the system’s robustness and stability. This durability and low-maintenance design translate to reduced costs over time, making it a sound investment for facilities that prioritise reliability.
