A major software upgrade delivers long-term lifecycle support for legacy Security Escort systems
Actall Corporation announced the release of HubSens 5.0, the latest version of its real-time location engine, now with full support for Bosch Security Escort field hardware. This new release enables control, telemetry, location processing and publishes results using the existing Bosch Security Escort remote control protocol—making it possible to extend the life of deployed Bosch systems with modern software support. HubSens 5.0 was developed after lengthy interviews with Security Escort installations to determine their pain points and triage that listing into real priorities.

With HubSens 5.0, our team has delivered a path forward for Security Escort installations”
— Bob Hampe, President & CEO
“Many institutions still rely on Security Escort systems for staff safety and asset tracking, but the original software platform is functionally stranded on obsolete versions of Windows,” said Bob Hampe, President & CEO of Actall Corporation. “With HubSens 5.0, our team has delivered a path forward for Security Escort installations—allowing these legacy systems to operate securely and efficiently well into the future, and now offering our clients the option to adopt it through a feature-rich, streamlined subscription model.”
HubSens 5.0 is a headless, Linux-based appliance that now serves as a full drop-in software replacement for Bosch’s original Security Escort interface, which requires Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012—both no longer supported by Microsoft. By leveraging Actall’s open platform architecture and advanced location processing algorithms, existing customers can modernize operations without replacing hardware infrastructure.
The new Bosch driver enables HubSens to:
1. Remotely control Security Escort transponders and receivers
2. Read and interpret device telemetry
3. Generate accurate real-time location estimates
4. Publish events to third-party interfaces via a standards-compliant OpenAPI stream
As with prior releases, HubSens 5.0 is fully compatible with PrismUI, Actall’s Windows-based administration tool. PrismUI enables site personnel to manage devices, generate reports, configure alarms and notifications, and integrate with I/O systems—delivering a rich ecosystem for operational continuity and future system expansion. With this release, HubSens is now also available in an on premise subscription model, giving organizations flexible options to license the technology as a managed service. Subscriptions are available in three- and five-year annual terms, providing a predictable cost structure and continuous access to support, updates, and upgrades.
