Domestic gadget and smartphone accessories brand iGear has launched Thermo Check, a contactless unmanned infrared thermometer that can be mounted on a wall or a tripod at the entrance of housing societies, offices, malls, schools, and many such areas.

Neha Sharma, Co-founder, iGear, said, “The iGear Thermo Check is a simple yet very efficient medical gadget that can help create a safe working, schooling, or shopping area and help control the spread of the deadly virus. With a Thermo Check device at every entrance, visitors, employees, students, and others can be safely screened from a distance before entering. This fully automatic infrared thermometer helps establishments avoid the exposure of infection to its security staff while keeping the premises safe from coronavirus.”

With Thermo Check, the visitor simply needs to scan themselves before entering and the device will instantly alert the establishment if there is a potentially infected patient at the entrance.

It sports a large, bright and crisp LCD which is very easy and comfortable to read. It displays the current temperature of a person being scanned in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on the requirements by the establishment. A laser beam with IR transmitters and receivers are built on the top where the patient/visitor simply needs to place his/her forehead at a distance between 1cm to 7cm. The device will instantly read the temperature and produce the results on the screen within 0.5 seconds and with a high accuracy rate of ±0.2°.

The measuring range is between 32°C to 43°C and the device is set to automatically show results depending on the scanned temperature. When it detects below 37.2°C, it beeps once and alerts with a voice “Normal Temperature”. When it detects between 37.2°C and 37.9°C, it instantly beeps and sounds an alarm, indicating “High Temperature.” And if the temperature is detected higher than 37.9°C, the device beeps thrice and notifies saying “Super High Temperature.” You can also choose between English or Hindi as the voice language using the instruction manual.

The iGear Thermo Check also includes a digital counter which reads and stores the number of people that have been scanned. The establishment can read the number of people entering the premises during the day/week/month at the click of a button. No personal data is stored. The thermometer weighs just 200g. It operates on a built-in rechargeable battery and also can work using three AA cells or a power adapter using the bundled USB to power cable and is very easy to install, deploy and operate.

The iGear Thermo Check will be exclusively available for an introductory price of Rs 1,990 on Croma.com, and comes with a 1-year standard industry warranty.

“For projects like The National Broadband Mission, Smart Cities and other big-ticket technologies like 5G and IoT, we need skilled manpower with domain expertise. Most of the semi-urban and rural reach of FTTH is being achieved through the LCO (Local Cable Operators) and its imperative to skill their manpower to get the best results. Our aim is to enable the telecom sector to grow rapidly to cater to future demand. India has become the next big destination for capital investment in the ICT manufacturing and servicing domain,” said Arvind Bali, CEO, TSSC.

The efforts under this MoU will include joint mapping of skill requirements against the industry demand for both reskilling and upskilling to be conducted by BIF and TSSC. The Telecom Sector Skill Council will support BIF’s wide ranging membership base in development of their requisite training eco-system, alignment of training deliverables to industry requirements, and will create awareness of the skill program among them.

T.V. Ramachandran, President Broadband India Forum, said, “India has been blessed with a rich talent pool of highly capable and innovative resources, especially in the digital technologies domain. It is imperative to ensure that their skill development requirements are met adequately and appropriately, so as to help develop them into world-class professionals. This, in turn, will lead to enhanced and effective productivity, aiding in the proper growth and evolution of the broadband ecosystem in India. BIF is pleased to associate with TSSC, which has long been the gold standard for skill development in the telecom sector in this endeavour, which we believe will help strengthen our objective of facilitating ubiquitous, high-quality and affordable broadband for all.”

TSSC and BIF will issue joint certificates on all the paid National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) aligned courses. The Telecom Sector Skill Council will help develop programs with high industry visibility and traction for BIF members and provide guidance on various government skill development schemes for participating and deriving benefits from.
