Traditional communication infrastructure often fails within the thick walls and remote zones typical of correctional facilities. ViaPath addresses these gaps using narrowband technology that functions independently of standard cellular or Wi-Fi networks. By deploying Bluetooth beacons and dedicated gateways, the system provides command teams with precise location tracking through a tablet-based interface. Current data shows the network handles approximately 32,000 alerts monthly across existing sites.

ViaPath Deploys Emergency Alert System Across 66 Correctional Facilities
With 17,500 wearable devices already in circulation, ViaPath Technologies has launched Threat Alert, a specialized communication network designed to bypass the connectivity limitations of correctional campuses. The system provides staff with a discreet, reliable way to signal for help during critical incidents across 700 buildings and 2,500 acres.
Beyond immediate distress signaling, the platform includes an integrated management dashboard that logs alert activity and response patterns. This allows administrators to audit system usage and refine safety protocols. According to ViaPath President and CEO Deb Alderson, the technology aims to provide staff with reliable tools during high-pressure scenarios, ensuring that command centers maintain visibility in complex, multi-building environments. The hardware is designed for rapid installation and utilizes AES-128 encryption to secure all internal communications.
