Actall completes HubSens5 installation and live testing at Australian prison

Actall Corporation said it has successfully installed and tested ACTALL HubSens5 at an active Australian correctional facility, using existing Bosch Security Escort hardware. The result could help agencies extend the life of older location-tracking systems while moving to a browser-based platform.

Why it matters: - The installation shows Actall HubSens5 can work in a live correctional setting without replacing existing Bosch Security Escort field hardware. - Agencies facing Bosch end-of-life deadlines may be able to modernize location tracking and crisis-response tools with less disruption and lower replacement cost. - The deployment also signals a path to extend the useful life of infrastructure already paid for by corrections agencies.

What happened: - Actall Corporation announced the successful installation, live testing and evaluation of ACTALL HubSens5 at an Australian correctional facility. - The facility was active and high-traffic, giving the system a real-world test inside a correctional environment. - The rollout used existing Bosch Security Escort 304 MHz hardware already on site. - The system ingested data from RF transponders, receivers and personal alarm transmitters without requiring hardware replacement.

The details: - HubSens5 combines real-time location tracking for tagged assets and people with mapping, commissioning and management tools, plus open APIs. - The native Bosch driver allowed direct ingestion of device data from the existing hardware. - HubSens5’s mapping and administrative tools are designed to deliver Security Escort functions through a browser-based interface. - The commissioning tools remove the need to make direct receiver adjustments for tuning. - Users can adjust location results in a live environment. - During testing, HubSens5 delivered 21 days of continuous uptime. - The system also completed 100% successful traffic testing. - The first day of final testing went exceedingly well, according to the team, and set up final sign-off. - Actall said the next development cycle will add support for Bosch 433 MHz devices and one-for-one hardware replacement.

Between the lines: - The test suggests Actall is positioning HubSens5 as a bridge technology for agencies that want newer software without ripping out legacy field equipment. - The browser-based tools and live commissioning features point to a shift toward easier administration and faster operational adjustments. - The company is also using the Bosch EOL deadline as a market opening for upgrades that minimize downtime. - CEO Bob Hampe framed the deployment as proof that agencies can gain modern capabilities without starting from scratch.

What's next: - Actall plans to introduce support for Bosch 433 MHz devices in the next development cycle. - The company also plans one-for-one hardware replacement support. - Actall says it will continue working with corrections and public safety agencies to modernize location tracking and crisis-response infrastructure with minimal disruption. - The company’s broader product line includes ACTALL Sentry, ATLAS Escort and ACTALL HubSens for staff security, duress response, live tracking and crisis-alarm management.

The bottom line: - HubSens5 passed a demanding live test in an Australian correctional facility, and Actall is betting that compatibility with legacy Bosch hardware will make modernization easier for agencies under replacement pressure.
