DALLAS and CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T, ActiveProtective®, and JACS Solutions are working together to enhance safety and peace of mind for at-risk older adults and their caregivers. This collaboration introduces the Connectivity Device, an accessory for the Tango Belt, a wearable medical device designed to monitor motion and deploy an inflatable airbag during potential hip-impacting falls.

The Connectivity Device is packaged with the Tango Belt and supports:

Reliable wireless broadband communication for data transmission
Automatic caregiver notifications upon detection of a fall
Secure electronic transfer of data without requiring Wi-Fi

To support this responsive device, AT&T's Connected Healthcare team developed and deployed secure, connected assets that enable real-time digital monitoring and collaboration between patients and clinicians. The Connectivity Device by JACS—a compact, reliable LTE connectivity module integrates seamlessly with the Tango Belt. The JACS TD0301TAA, a powerful network connector, ensures uninterrupted data transmission and timely caregiver notifications, even when the Wi-Fi access is unstable or unavailable.

"Knowing your loved one is safe at home gives one peace of mind. AT&T's Connected Healthcare is committed to delivering tailored solutions that help our customers exceed expectations," said Lee Wagner, AVP of Connected Solutions at AT&T. "By fostering strong relationships with experts in this field and maintaining a commitment to reliability and security, AT&T connectivity enhances patient care through innovative connected solutions."

AT&T's strong network allows the Tango Belt to operate seamlessly within range, transmitting critical information to caregivers. By utilizing their infrastructure, we are empowering caregivers with the tools they need to provide timely and effective interventions, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for at-risk older adults.

"This mission is personal for us because we have seen the impact of hip fractures firsthand," said Wamis Singhatat, CEO of ActiveProtective. "Collaborating with AT&T's secure network and JACS' connectivity solutions enables the Tango Belt to stay connected across a wide range of settings – so older adults can age with dignity and freedom."

"JACS Solutions is honored to work with AT&T and ActiveProtective to provide a reliable, potentially life-saving broadband connectivity solution for healthcare providers" said Dr. Chang Gang Zhang, Vice President of Technology for JACS Solutions. "Together, we are redefining how connected health technologies support independence for vulnerable populations. The strength of this collaboration enables us to elevate and deliver a higher standard of care for better patient outcomes.

The Tango Belt is now available for senior living communities seeking reliable Wi-Fi-independent connectivity for fall detection notification and caregiver communication. ActiveProtective is seeking interested senior living owner/operators, healthcare systems and providers, particularly those in Value-Based Care models that proactively "screen and intervene" to mitigate risk and avoid costly episodes of care. Orders include access to personalized onboarding and support to ensure every wearer gets the most from their device.
