Business Wire: Recent decades have seen the widespread adoption of short-range

real-time location systems (RTLS). But according to a new Research
Brief from ABI Research, a preoccupation with the technologies alone
is misplaced: a more useful concept is "real-time intelligence
visualization" (RTIV), in which the technology becomes the means to an
end, not the end itself.

MIKE WENDLAND, FREE PRESS COLUMNIST: The ankle bracelet can go as long as 48 hours between chargings. Indoors and outdoors, it can report a location with an accuracy of 15 to 30 feet. If someone wearing the tether strays beyond the geographic limitations programmed into it, it immediately sounds an alarm and notifies. Same thing happens if someone would try to cut it off.
