Definitions
      1. The following definitions are used in this specification:

        1. Accuracy: The measure or characterization of difference between an offender’s location as determined and reported by the EM device and the offender’s actual location.

        2. Active Monitoring: An approach to offender monitoring that uses cellular capability to accomplish near real-time collection and transmission of device location and status data.

        3. Active: Mode in which the device transmits location reports, alerts, and event notifications as soon as they are obtained subject to the time delay imposed by the cellular network.

        4. Adequately charged battery: A unit charged to meet the definition of a “fully charged battery” within the past six hours.

        5. Alert: (1) A notification that an offender wearing a monitoring device has engaged in activity of interest to the supervising entity (e.g., zone breach, tamper), or that a device parameter of interest has changed (e.g., low battery power); or (2) An event generated or recorded by an offender monitoring system that requires notification to CSC for review.

        6. Bidder or Solution Provider: A "Bidder" is defined as the entity submitting a proposal in response to this RFP. This term is synonymous with "Solution Provider", since the bidder will be providing a solution to CSC which includes hardware (e.g. the electronic monitoring devices), software (e.g. the electronic monitoring application), and related services.

        7. Bracelet: The body-attached portion of an EM device, usually affixed to an offender’s ankle.

        8. Breach: A breach is an event in which an offender has acted contrary to the terms of his or her conditional release and or court-ordered restriction(s) (e.g. left authorized location when not scheduled to do so, tampering with equipment).

        9. Care: Cleaning, sanitization, and storage of an EM hardware unit.

        10. Cellular Mode: Is a method used by EM device to attain its current position stationary or moving. Localization occurs via multilateration of radio signals between (several) radio towers of the network.

        11. Cellular Technology: A cellular network or mobile network is a radio network distributed over land areas called cells, each served by at least one fixed-location transceiver, known as a cell site or base station. When joined together these cells provide radio coverage over a wide geographic area. This enables a large number of portable transceivers (e.g., mobile phones, pagers, etc.) to communicate with each other and with fixed transceivers and telephones anywhere in the network, via base stations.

        12. Circumvention: An action intended to frustrate or defeat proper EM device function.

        26. Fully charged battery: The quantity of electricity in Ah (ampere-hours) declared by the manufacturer that a single-cell battery can deliver after being charged for a two hours period for devices.

        27. Location methodology: An approach, or a combination of approaches, used to determine the location of objects (e.g., GPS, AFLT, inertial navigation).

        28. GPS mode: EM device receives signals from the visible satellites and sends the coordinates to EMS server.

        29. Inclusion zone: A user-defined area within which an offender who is subject to electronic monitoring must remain during specified periods.

        30. Inspection: Observation using one or more of the five senses, simple physical manipulation, and mechanical and electrical gauging and measurement to verify that the item conforms to its specified requirements.
