Core business and technology focus
MetAlert describes itself as a pioneer in smart, mobile, and wearable tracking and recovery location-based solutions. Its offerings combine hardware, software, and connectivity, utilizing GPS, cellular, RF, NFC, BLE, and other communication technologies to monitor people and high-value mobile assets. The company emphasizes turnkey or end-to-end solutions that include logistics, device manufacturing, connectivity, and backend monitoring infrastructure.
A central element of MetAlert’s business model is recurring subscription revenue associated with its monitoring platforms and devices. The company highlights that its subscription-based model is built around technology innovation and protected by a portfolio of patents, including numerous issued patents in the area of GPS tracking and wearable monitoring.
Key products and solutions
MetAlert repeatedly cites two flagship product families in its public communications:
- GPS SmartSole® – Described as a fusion of Dr. Scholl’s comfort with LoJack’s tracking capabilities, GPS SmartSole is characterized as the world’s first invisible wearable tracking device. It is integrated into an orthotic insole and is designed for individuals at risk of wandering, including people living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, autism, or traumatic brain injury. The device communicates over cellular networks to a cloud-based platform, sending alerts to a mobile app or online portal for real-time location and recovery support.
- GunAlert® / MyGunAlert – Described as an all-in-one firearm safety solution and firearm recovery device, GunAlert combines a steel cable gun lock, motion sensor, GPS, and cellular theft notification and recovery technology in a single system. The company states that the patented technology is sensitive enough to alert a user as soon as a firearm is moved, with location and movement data accessible through a dedicated smartphone app on Android and iOS. GunAlert is positioned as a tool to support responsible gun ownership and to help reduce firearm theft and related tragedies.
MetAlert also refers to broader mobile asset recovery solutions and remote patient monitoring technologies, as well as additional wearable tracking products sold through its online channels and authorized resellers.
Target users and markets
Company materials indicate that MetAlert serves a mix of government, enterprise, and consumer users. The company notes that its technologies are designed for consumers and patients with mobility, cognitive, and spatial awareness challenges, a demographic it estimates at approximately 2.9% of the global population. Its customer base includes public health entities, municipalities, emergency and law enforcement agencies, private and public educational institutions, assisted living facilities, NGOs, senior care residences, small enterprises, and individual consumers.
MetAlert reports that it has international distribution channels and subscribers in more than 35–40 countries, and that it acts as a U.S. Military Government contractor. The company also highlights distribution and trial activity for GPS SmartSole in multiple regions, including Latin America and parts of Europe, through local security and healthcare partners.
Subsidiaries and related brands
MetAlert references a wholly owned subsidiary, Level 2 Security (also referred to as Level 2 Security Products, Inc. in its communications), which is associated with firearm and mobile asset recovery solutions such as MyGunAlert. Through this subsidiary, MetAlert integrates firearm safety technology with its backend tracking portal and subscription infrastructure.
The company also notes that it has partnered with other businesses whose products rely on subscription-based distribution and fulfillment. In these arrangements, MetAlert leverages its existing distribution center and backend subscription processing capabilities to manage inventory logistics, shipping operations, and recurring billing for third-party product lines.
Business model and revenue characteristics
Across multiple disclosures, MetAlert emphasizes a subscription-based model anchored in its monitoring platforms for GPS SmartSole, GunAlert, and related tracking solutions. The company highlights its capacity within its distribution center and backend processes as a platform that can support both its own products and other subscription-based enterprises. MetAlert points to opportunities to expand revenue streams by providing backend services such as subscription management and fulfillment for external brands.
In addition to subscription revenue, MetAlert generates revenue from the sale and distribution of its physical devices and from licensing its intellectual property. The company also notes that its acquisition of Level 2 Security added product inventory, digital collateral, smartphone apps, and an ongoing research and development roadmap to its operations.
