VT adds sub-room location accuracy with new Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader.

 Visonic Technologies announces the immediate availability of its new Elpas2
High-Definition IR Reader. The device is designed to detect and relay Sub-Room Location data from Elpas IR-Enabled Active RFID Asset, Personnel or Infant Protection Tags to host applications; facilitating the real-time tracking of valuable fixed and mobile assets, high-risk patients as well as personnel or visitors 24 hours a day with pin-point accuracy.

“The new Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader enhances RTLS performance in healthcare, senior living and general office environments by providing reliable, yet low-cost sub-room location accuracy” said Michael Wasserstein, CEO of Visonic Technologies. “As example, our new IR reader provides hospital administrators with the ability to accurately identify different patient-beds within the same medical ward; enabling the automatic logging of patient and caregiver interaction.”
The Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader is plug and play compatible with the Elpas2 RF Ethernet Reader, making possible the leveraging of legacy wireless or wired Wi-Fi or Ethernet Networks plus XML messaging for integration with 3rd party applications.

The Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader complements and adds to VT’s growing portfolio of Ethernet and LonWork network Active RFID/RTLS fixed topology devices; and is to be marketed through the company’s worldwide network of qualified partners.

VT Expands, Enhances QA Department

In conjunction with our growing Elpas2 Active RFID/RTLS product line, Visonic Technologies has expanded and enhanced our in-house Quality Assurance Department in order to support the continued goal of providing VT customers with the highest quality hardware and software products.

VT’s expanded in-house Quality Assurance Department is more than doubled its original physical operating space. “We have created a secure QA testing facility with state-of-the-art hardware capable of simulating real deployment conditions and to recreate difficult radio network conditions caused by different types of building construction or ambient RF noise” says David Fensterheim VP – Professional Services Group. ‘With our expanded facility, we are able to take a much more rigorous approach to quality assurance and are also able to dedicate more time to testing products before they are released for mass production.

VT is also on a mission to “Create Awareness” among our customers and partners of the important role they can play in our overall quality assurance process. “There’s nothing more valuable than having one of our partners be an on-site Beta tester,” says Fensterheim.” And as such, VT is eagerly seeking more partners to participate in our ongoing Beta testing programs”.
