Alanco/TSI PRISM And NEC Australia Commence Partnership With Initial System Installation In Canberra

Alanco Technologies, Inc. announced recently that NEC Australia has commenced installation of a Wi-Fi compatible TSI PRISM RFID inmate tracking system at the Alexander Maconochie Centre prison in Canberra, Australia. NEC secured its first sale of TSI PRISM technology pursuant to a multi-year exclusive agreement between Alanco/TSI PRISM and NEC. Under the terms of the agreement, NEC has incorporated the TSI PRISM technology into its suite of security systems and integration services, which it is marketing to the 100 other prison facilities located throughout Australia and New Zealand. The Maconochie facility houses multiple classifications of residents, including young adult offenders, as well as both male and female detainees. The RFID system will be utilized to monitor physical separation, and to control movement between various segments of the population, and will provide a wide range of staff efficiency and cost reduction measures to the facility. The total project value is in excess of $1.0M.

NEC Australia's Tim Payne, Business Development Manager, commented, "We believe that prison facilities in Australia and New Zealand will gain significant benefits from deploying Alanco's TSI PRISM inmate tracking technology, and we are focused on the pursuit of this multi-million dollar market opportunity."

Greg M. Oester, President of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc., commented, "NEC has committed to a very aggressive marketing campaign targeting the additional prison facilities throughout Australia and New Zealand. The system installed at the Maconochie Centre will provide an excellent product showcase to demonstrate the features and benefits of the TSI PRISM RFID technology."
