The South Carolina Department of Corrections intends to Sole Source Ronco for the provision of the ELPAS/RTLS Man-Down Duress System.

Including a Web Services based interface to enable simple integration by developers and to access and update database events and objects. Interfaces with Intrusion, CCTV, Access Control and Patient Call Systems

The system must reliably provide location and distinguish between indoor, outdoor and separate floors.

There is no other system that can support all of these features on the same platform. While companies that use disparate systems can achieve some of the outcomes but are not able to do it all from one system. The key is ability it to do it all at that level from one hardware/software platform.
