Auri for courtrooms: application guide (UP1B609-01)

Summary

A maker's guide to deploying its Auracast system in courtrooms, with encryption, court-issued receivers and controlled access for sensitive proceedings.

Key findings

• Presents two operating models: an open broadcast, recommended for public proceedings and accessibility, and managed access with court-issued receivers preconfigured for approved broadcasts, recommended for sensitive environments.
• For restricted proceedings, recommends encrypting the broadcast with a Privacy Key, assigning unique keys, giving connection credentials only to approved listeners (for example through restricted QR codes or NFC at the courtroom entry or a security point) and rotating keys between proceedings.
• Says the maker's receiver can be locked to one channel or set to connect automatically to a chosen broadcast, so that listeners cannot scan for other broadcasts.
• Recommends setting transmitter output to suit the courtroom and checking coverage at the courtroom boundary to limit spill, while stating that "Range should be treated as a coverage parameter—not a security mechanism".
• Expects courts increasingly to need to support approved users who join with their own compatible devices as Auracast spreads.

Limits
