The SCRAM Modem

What Is It?

The SCRAM modem is the mechanism by which the data that is collected by the SCRAM bracelet gets transmitted to Alcohol Monitoring Systems (AMS) for analysis and reporting.

When the SCRAM bracelet is installed on the offender’s ankle, he or she also receives the SCRAM modem, which plugs into an analog telephone line – usually in the offender’s home or place of work. At a pre-scheduled time(s) each day, the SCRAM bracelet “communicates” with the SCRAM modem, and the modem retrieves all available data from the bracelet. The modem also downloads monitoring and reporting schedules to the bracelet.
