Pocket-Sized Cell Phone Detector Stops Cheating Students & More

Berkeley Varitronics Systems Releases Covert Cell Phone Security for Classrooms, Courtrooms & Boardrooms

METUCHEN, NJ, April 2, 2012  -- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. (BVS), a leading provider of advanced wireless test solutions and security products to the domestic and international wireless telecommunications industry, has released PocketHound(TM) cell phone detector in an effort to stop illegal and unsecure cell phone use in classrooms, courtrooms and boardrooms.

PocketHound(TM) is a highly sensitive cell phone detector that is specifically tuned to the RF signature of all 2G/3G/4G cell phones (U.S. & international bands for PCS, CDMA/WCDMA, UMTS, GSM, EGSM). The receiver scans for any and all voice, texting and data transmissions and applies its unique auto-thresholding technology by comparing cellular measurements with the RF noise floor of that environment. This ensures that only genuine cell phone use (active or standby mode) will trigger the PocketHound(TM) with user selectable flashing LEDs and/or vibrating alerts. PocketHound(TM) detects all cellular RF activity within a 75 foot radius making it ideal for indoor use in areas where cellphone use is prohibited and illegal.

PocketHound's simple alerts and single button operation make it simple to operate effectively by anyone and it's size and weight are smaller than a pack of playing cards. It's internal lithium polymer battery and USB charging system allows up to 2 hours of continuous runtime without any need for direct operation or recharging. This allows the PocketHound(TM) to be covertly used in order to detect and identify the source of prohibited cell phone use.

PocketHound(TM) was designed to target the recent proliferation of cell phone use in environments where data and information intergrity is critical.

"With the widespread use of smartphones, we're seeing a growing market in need of policing cellphone use especially in universities and test-taking situations, corporate boardrooms and offices as well as government secure facilities and courtrooms. Since this market is not typically comprised of security professionals, we have developed PocketHound as an easy-to-use solution with a low price." Says Scott Schober, BVS President & CEO.

PocketHound is designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. and available now directly from www.bvsystems.com at an introductory price of $499.
BVS will be demonstrating the PocketHound along with many other wireless security and measurement products in BOOTH 2415 at the at the GovSec Expo in Washington, DC. From April 3-5.
