Mobile Communication is a digital mobile telephony
system. SIM900 can fit almost all the space requirements
in the M2M application with dimensions of 24mm x 24mm
x 3 mm. This is a GSM/GPRS-compatible Quad-band cell
phone, which works on a frequency of
850/900/1800/1900MHz and can be used not only to
access the Internet, but also for oral communication
(provided that it is connected to a microphone and a small
loud speaker) and for SMSs and calls. The processor is also
in charge of a SIM card which needs to be attached to the
outer wall of the module. The module works on voltage
between 3.4 and 4.5 V.

Pulse Sensor (SEN-11574): The Pulse Sensor Amped is a

plug-and-play heart-rate sensor for Arduino. It essentially
combines a simple optical heart rate sensor with
amplification and noise cancellation circuitry making it
fast and easy to get reliable pulse readings. It sips power
with just 4mA current draw at 5V so it’s great for mobile
applications.

Buzzer: It is used as an alarm to the nearby people so that

they may understand that that someone is in need.

2. WORKING

The main purpose of our project is to provide security to

the women from dangerous situations. This device consists
of a key or button which can be pressed by the women
when she is in need or when she feels insecure. As the

CONCLUSION

The proposed design will deal with critical issues faced by

women during night and provide security with advanced
technology. While the society may or may not change its
mind set but this device will help to feel women
independent.
