Allerta builds hardware and software products that solve problems faced by mobile phone users. We feel for anyone who has ever missed an important call because they didn't realize their phone was ringing. We're paranoid about dropping our phones when we're on the move, and we hate when accidents happen because a driver was fumbling to see what the ringing was all about. We set out to create a device that could put a stop to these situations. Instead of having to grab your phone out of your pocket every time it vibrates, use our technology and rest assured that you'll be alerted when an important call or message arrives.

Allerta was founded in late 2008 by senior engineering students from the University of Waterloo and is based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. While biking over canals in Europe, Eric Migicovsky, our CEO, missed one call after another. Eric thought there had to be a better way of staying aware of all those mobile alerts. He was right: Allerta has developed a smartwatch that unlocks the potential of your mobile phone.

On Oct 26 2009, Allerta announced their first product - inPulse smartwatch for BlackBerry®. inPulse is the perfect BlackBerry smartphone accessory - it’s a watch which connects wirelessly to your phone by Bluetooth®, alerting you instantly to incoming emails, SMS and calls. inPulse extends the functionality of your BlackBerry smartphone, so when you’re in a pinch you can check your inPulse instead of fumbling around with your phone.
