Mobiles are a convenient means of communication, however, we are all to aware that with in a prison environment these are not permitted within the ground of any establishment. Tate Security Technology have acknowledged this by linking up with a technology independent partner to bring to the UK latest in mobile phone detection systems.
The unit can be placed in a central position within any area and can be installed as a single unit or a multiple installation to cover a wider area. This system picks up on the mobile phone being used or in standby detecting the network signal this include the short auto-registration signal sent out by the mobile phone. This once detected by the unit signals either a local indication to the house block officers or by a ethernet I/O collector for remote alarm indication with-in the control room. Each unit can then pinpoint to a particular area the mobile phone has been utilised.
The unit can also be placed within the vehicle lock, visitor and the staff pedestrian entrances to stop any accidental entry to the prison of mobiles. The system is also available with a Jamming circuit, this is currently illegal within the UK.
