Abstract: This invention is directed to an ad-hoc peer-to-peer wireless worksite alert system with transceiver devices that communicate with each other using radio signals encoded with a unique identifier for each of the transceiver devices and provide light and audio alerts for worksite workers using the transceiver devices. Each transceiver device includes an alert indicator light, an audio speaker for emitting a siren, and a processor for scanning and transmitting status and alert radio signals. The ad-hoc peer-to-peer wireless worksite alert system does not require a centralized receiver unit and employs a mesh network for direct peer-to-peer communication. The simplicity of a peer-to-peer mesh network provides reliability and the ability to expand the mesh network as needed without additional and expensive equipment for centralized network control and relay.
