Discreet Portable Tasers

Axon Debuted a New Taser Device That Alerts Emergency Dispatch When Fired

— January 19, 2022 — Lifestyle
Consumers looking for a discreet and travel-friendly taser may be drawn to the TASER Bolt 2 from Axon. The device can immobilize an attacker for up to 30 seconds and boasts a high lumen light for nighttime usage. In addition, a companion app, upon discharging the Bolt 2, will transmit the GPS coordinates of the fired weapon directly to law enforcement.

In addition to the Safe Escape Replacement Guarantee — which guarantees the replacement of any device that is lost after being discharged in self-defense — the TASER Bolt 2 includes access to a network of certified instructors for training and support.

"We are excited to announce the launch of this next generation personal safety device that will allow customers to protect themselves with confidence," says Matt Angorn, VP of Axon Consumer Products. "The enhancements and safety features of the TASER Bolt 2 non-lethal energy weapon will provide civilians with peace of mind and the ability to safely protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities."

Trend Themes
1. Discreet Personal Safety Devices - The creation of discreet personal safety devices that can protect individuals in unsettling situations presents opportunities for businesses to create innovative products that will allow individuals to feel safe in any environment.
2. Integrated Safety Technology - As more devices become integrated with the internet of things or other networks, there is an opportunity for the creation and enhancement of technology that can alert authorities to potentially dangerous situations in real time.
3. Non-lethal Defense Products - With an increased demand for personal safety, there is a growing opportunity to manufacture and design non-lethal defense products to keep people safe in threatening situations without risk of excessive harm or death.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry could play an increasingly larger role in the creation of personal safety devices that are designed to blend in with everyday objects, providing the element of surprise that could be used to defend oneself against sudden attacks.
2. Public Safety - As individuals look to take more control over their personal safety, there is an opportunity for public safety-focused industries to integrate new, innovative technology to aid in the reduction of crime rates and increase police response times.
3. Self-defense Course Providers - The growing demand for personal safety products has resulted in an increased demand for self-defense courses which present an opportunity for businesses that focus on teaching people how to protect themselves.
