RFID in jail

Filed in archive Products on May 25, 2006

What's RFID doing in jail? It tracks people. Alanco Technologies is exhibiting at the American Jail Association (AJA) 25th Annual Training Conference and Jail Expo being held May 21-25 in Salt Lake City.

What they have? The company will be showcasing its recently developed 2.4 GHz RTLS (real time locating system) staff and inmate tracking technology designed specifically for jail applications.

Rapid inmate turnover, in some jails exceeding 1,000 per day, is one facet of jail management that differs significantly from inmate management at a state prison. We have redesigned our TSI PRISM inmate wrist-worn transmitter with a new quick-release strap mechanism for rapid inmate enrollments and a rechargeable battery. The new jail version TSI PRISM system is also Wi-Fi compliant, enabling interface connections with other wireless communication devices, such as PDAs.

A 500 Mill. US$ market (only US). But it sounds like food logistic or a cattle roundup. Maybe it makes more sense then tracking employees in japan.
