Cell Control
Tephra’s Cell Control is an integrated device capable of controlling and monitoring a lock, hatch and other cell peripherals. This multifunctional terminal is designed to be mounted beside a cell, room or circulation door.
Cell Control has revolutionised the way custodial environments manage their access control. It can be adapted in response to changes in the risk profile of individual prisoners, ensuring ultimate protection and security for all – staff, prisoners and the prison itself.
It forms part of Tephra’s fully scalable integrated security management Platform, to facilitate remote control and monitoring of all connected peripherals.

Background
Prison environments are challenging and security needs to be efficient and manageable. Successful prison systems ensure safe custody and control, but also opportunities for rehabilitation.
The use of technology in prisons can make a positive contribution to the safety of officers and prisoners, by freeing staff from repetitive activities and empowering prisoners to make choices themselves.
Tephra Cell Control can be utilised by both officers and prisoners, enabling prisoners’ greater levels of autonomy through performing daily routines, but also allowing officers to maintain effective control and security
