Visonic Technologies (VT), a global leader in unified Active RFID/RTLS safety and security solutions, announces the immediate availability of its new Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader.

The device is designed to detect and relay 'Sub-Room Location' data from Elpas IR-Enabled Active RFID Asset, Personnel or Infant Protection Tags to host applications; facilitating the real-time tracking of valuable fixed and mobile assets, high-risk and geriatric patients as well as personnel or visitors; 24 hours a day with pin-point accuracy.

"The new Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader enhances RTLS performance in healthcare, senior living and general office environments by providing reliable, yet cost effective sub-room location accuracy" said Michael Wasserstein, CEO of Visonic Technologies. "As example, our new IR reader provides hospital administrators with the ability to accurately identify different patient-beds within the same medical ward; enabling the automatic logging of patient and caregiver interaction."

The Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader is plug and play compatible with the Elpas2 RF Ethernet reader, making possible the leveraging of legacy wireless or wired Wi-Fi or Ethernet networks plus XML messaging for integration with 3rd party applications.

The Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader complements VT's growing portfolio of Ethernet and LonWork network Active RFID/RTLS fixed topology devices and is to be marketed through the company's worldwide network of qualified partners.
