X2M Connect’s smart personal safety devices are designed to integrate directly into Seoul’s existing smart city infrastructure

HIGHLIGHTS

• X2M secures an approximately $3 million contract from the City of Seoul to deliver 100,000 IoT-connected personal safety devices as part of Seoul’s 2025 Smart City public safety initiative
• Project scheduled for completion by December 2025
• The “Help Me” devices will integrate into Seoul’s existing smart city infrastructure such as emergency platforms and thus enables real-time response
• Backed by a new South Korean security alarm mandate, the project has the potential to scale to 1 million units, opening a significant pipeline of future growth with municipal and national governments
• X2M expects to bring similar solutions into the Australian market

X2M CEO Mohan Jesudason said:
“We are proud to be selected by the City of Seoul as their preferred technology partner for this ambitious smart city initiative. This project demonstrates how innovation can make cities not only more connected, but safer – particularly for women and vulnerable communities.”

 

Under the contract, X2M will provide 100,000 smart personal safety devices – compact, rechargeable IoT-connected keychains called “Help Me” – distributed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as part of a national push to improve urban safety standards.

X2M’s devices are designed to integrate directly into Seoul’s existing smart city infrastructure, including the Ansimi app, CCTV networks, and emergency response platforms. The devices alert police and emergency contacts when activated, sharing the user’s real-time location and initiating rapid intervention via connected control centres.

The first wave of devices will be distributed free of charge by the City government, with the initiative planned to scale to 1 million devices over time as part of the government’s broader public safety roadmap creating a strong long-term commercial opportunity for X2M.
