The MT500 Prisoner GPS Metal Ankle is a ALTAGAMA GPS compatible GPS tracker purpose-built for continuous, law-enforcement-grade monitoring of individuals under correctional supervision. With a rugged metal enclosure and tamper-resistant attachment, the MT500 delivers reliable real-time tracking and compliance reporting to ALTAGAMA GPS-powered control centers, enabling agencies to enforce exclusion/inclusion zones and respond quickly to tamper or boundary events.
Designed for parole, probation, and judicial supervision programs, the MT500 combines GNSS positioning with cellular communications and long battery endurance to provide continuous location monitoring. When integrated with ALTAGAMA GPS, the device feeds location, tamper, and geofence data into a single platform that supports automated alerts, case reporting, and secure remote configuration.
Key Highlights
- ALTAGAMA GPS compatible GPS tracker: direct integration for streamlined monitoring, alerts, and case workflows.
- Tamper-resistant metal ankle design: engineered to resist unauthorized removal and provide visible physical security.
- Real-time tracking and geofencing: continuous or periodic location updates with virtual boundary enforcement.
- Long battery endurance: designed for extended field use to minimize service interruptions and maintenance.
- Cellular + GNSS communications: reliable positioning and data transfer over cellular networks to the ALTAGAMA GPS platform.
- Remote configuration & firmware management: update device settings and firmware over the network without manual retrieval.
- Compliance-focused alerts: tamper, removal, and boundary-breach notifications for rapid response and audit trails.
How It Works with ALTAGAMA GPS
The MT500 transmits GNSS-derived location coordinates and security events over cellular networks to ALTAGAMA GPS, where data is normalized, displayed, and stored. ALTAGAMA GPS ingests the MT500 feed for real-time tracking, geofence enforcement, and case management; administrators configure alerts and escalation workflows to match program rules. Integrating the MT500 into ALTAGAMA GPS centralizes telemetry and compliance data so supervision teams can act on accurate, timely information.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to ALTAGAMA GPS dashboards and mobile apps.
- Tamper and removal detection with immediate alerting and event logging.
- Geofence and boundary-breach notifications for exclusion/inclusion zone enforcement.
- Remote configuration and firmware updates via the cellular network for efficient device management.
- Option to correlate MT500 data with other ALTAGAMA GPS-enabled telemetry devices (for example fleet management or anti-theft systems, fuel monitoring units, ignition/immobilizer-equipped hardware, or Bluetooth sensors) to build comprehensive situational awareness across programs.
