ABK Tracking and DH Solutions Launch a New and Exciting M2M Product

New technology will soon change the way drug testing is done. ABK Tracking worked with DH Solutions to develop and launch a new and exciting M2M product that officials say will keep more offenders out of jail, as well as keep the public safe at the same time. The technology is being marketed as ERAM which stands for Electronic Remote Accountability Monitoring. The package consists of a MultiTech rCell modem and an IP camera. It is installed in the participant’s home, and twice a day the participant will have to adhere to random testing. This option will only be available for select offenders and will be utilized to hold them accountable and get them the help they need, when they need it.

DH Solutions began working with ABK to help develop the solution and generated a pilot program very quickly and efficiently. To date, the pilot has been a success and if all goes well the final product may be deployed nationwide.

A short video of the news cast on this development is available after the break.
