Application Scenarios and Deployment Use Cases for the SOLT SB5R-2XWH Transmitter

The SOLT SB5R-2XWH is an RF-based dual-action transmitter engineered for facilities requiring rapid on-demand alert triggering paired with verified on-site alert cancellation. Operating on the 433 MHz band (433.05 MHz to 433.79 MHz) with FSK/GFSK modulation and a Texas Instruments (TI) microcontroller running SOLT's proprietary communication protocol, the compact unit delivers 360-degree omnidirectional signal transmission. Because it operates completely wirelessly on a single 3V CR2032 lithium coin cell battery (they are not included) and includes a dedicated mounting cover, the transmitter can be rapidly integrated across healthcare, hospitality, corporate, and commercial environments without structural cabling or facility downtime.

Hospital and Clinical Inpatient Bedside Alerting

In healthcare environments, the SB5R-2XWH functions as an inpatient bedside call point. Secured to patient headboards or ward walls using its included mounting cover, the transmitter allows bedridden patients to request immediate nursing assistance with a single press. Upon activation, the integrated high-brightness LED visual confirmation indicator illuminates to reassure the patient that the transmission has fired.

A critical operational safeguard of the SB5R-2XWH is its dual call/cancel logic: active alert events can only be cancelled via a long press of the same button. This forces attending healthcare staff to physically enter the patient's room and reach the bedside to clear the alert, preventing accidental or premature dismissal from central stations. When paired with central receivers, such as SOLT SM3 series display panels, SP7 or SP9 wearable wrist pagers, and SR5-MPR / SR5-MPRT interfaces running SOLT PC Manager software, this workflow logs accurate response timestamps that assist hospitals in meeting National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) and Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation audit standards. The white circular housing features integrated splash and dust protection, permitting routine wipedowns with standard non-abrasive hospital-grade disinfectants.

Corporate Boardrooms and Executive Attendant Paging

In modern corporate offices and commercial administrative facilities, the SB5R-2XWH serves as an unobtrusive attendant paging interface for executive offices and conference rooms. Measuring 58 mm in diameter and 12.6 mm in thickness with a lightweight 20 to 21 gram footprint, the circular white transmitter mounts discreetly beneath conference tables, on podiums, or along meeting room walls without interfering with interior aesthetics.

Meeting organizers or executives can send silent assistance alerts to office support staff, catering teams, or IT technicians without interrupting presentations or negotiations. Support personnel wearing SOLT SP7 or SP9 pagers or monitoring numeric displays instantly receive the location-tagged call. Once the required service or technical support is delivered to the room, the attendant executes a long press on the transmitter to clear the open request across the facility system.

Hospitality and Table Service Automation

In dining establishments, private dining suites, and hospitality lounges, the SB5R-2XWH functions as an on-table service transmitter. Guests trigger a call with a single touch to summon waitstaff, eliminating waving or searching for floor personnel. Waiters monitoring wrist receivers or front-of-house displays respond directly to the specific table. Upon arrival, the server performs the long-press cancellation action directly at the table, resetting the call status. For multi-floor or sprawling facilities where signal paths encounter structural partitions, signal coverage can be extended using SOLT SR5-BPR wireless repeaters.
