What SOS Technologies does

SOS Technologies is a Jacksonville, Florida-based, privately held life-safety and emergency response equipment company founded around 1970 that serves over 60,000 customers across the United States and Puerto Rico. Its core product franchise is medical emergency equipment — most notably the SOS Trauma Oxygen Unit (a single-lever, FDA-compliant emergency oxygen device delivering 60–88 minutes of flow), the Emergency Response Bag (carrying case for AEDs and oxygen units), and AED program services including site assessment, placement planning, training, and ongoing management — supported by recurring service, maintenance, and hydrostatic testing programs. The company also operates an authorized training network of more than 300 educators (firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, nurses) delivering CPR, First Aid, Bloodborne Pathogens, AED, and OSHA Safety classes under ECSI, AHA, HSI, and ATEM credentials.

In recent years SOS Technologies has expanded into the emergency alert and life-safety systems market through its SmartEAS platform, which features the next-generation CAD911 Interface Engine delivering verified emergency alerts to first responders in under five seconds and a GovRAMP-authorized cloud architecture that meets public-sector security standards. The company generates revenue across three streams: hardware sales of oxygen units, response bags, and AED equipment; professional services delivered through the training network; and recurring service/maintenance contracts. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at K-12 education, healthcare facilities, manufacturing sites, corporate campuses, and government agencies, supplemented by strategic technology partnerships with Regroup (mass notification) and Critical Response Group (advanced mapping). The most strategically significant customer is New York City Public Schools, where a first-of-its-kind direct-to-911 integration is expanding to 25 buildings covering 51 schools across the five boroughs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company's contact page directs prospective customers to "Contact for Pricing" across both product and training offerings.
