OVERVIEW
Omnilink's OM500 beacon is designed to be used in conjunction with Omnilink's OM500 Series offender
tracking devices. The beacon allows the Omnilink OM500 series tracking devices to obtain location data
using Wi-Fi radio frequency. Beacons are generally used in highly impaired locations where GPS and Wi-
Fi location are not available. Beacons can also be used in dense residential areas and high-rise residential
structures to reduce participant's movements vertically and horizontally. When the OM500 tracking
device comes within range of the paired beacon, the tracking device starts to locate via Wi-Fi technology.
The OM500 tracking device will attempt to get a non-beacon location point based on impaired rate while
in range of the beacon to verify the beacon is in the correct location. The beacon has multiple alerts to
notify the supervising agency if the beacon has been moved or unplugged from the electrical source.
