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.
