BluBox™

BluBox™ (U.S. patent pending) is a GPS accessory designed for use in group residential facilities with multiple offenders. It emits an encrypted radio frequency (RF) signal to electronically tether multiple offenders monitored with a BluTag® device within a single facility. BluBox™ does not transmit monitoring data. The BluTag® device attached to the offender’s ankle transmits monitoring data.

BluBox™ installation and operations

  • BluBox™ is installed in an inconspicuous location of a community corrections halfway house or residential hotel.
  • It is powered with a standard AC electrical outlet.
  • Back-up battery power lasts up to three days.
  • Detects and transmits unauthorized movement or tampering to BluTag®, which sends the data to VeriTracks®.
  • When an offender enters the RF signal range and BluBox™ and BluTag® are tethered together, BluTag® transmits a message to VeriTracks® about the tether.
  • When BluTag® is tethered to BluBox™, GPS tracking is curtailed. When the tether is broken, GPS tracking returns to standard operations.
