"My facility recently purchased four of the PocketHound cell phone detectors. They were immediately beneficial at helping staff locate and reduce the number of cellular phones possessed by offenders inside our institution. We would not have been able to accomplish this goal without the aid of the PocketHounds."

Captain Michael Biddle

Miami Correctional Facility

"Mere hours after receiving and fully charging the PocketHound Cell Phone Detector, I immediately began successfully detecting hidden cell phones. Being in the Criminal Corrections field, this product is a great tool to have. This product delivers at every level, it is small enough to conceal, easy enough for just about anyone to use properly and accurate enough to trust. Also, this product has worked so well for me that I have recommended it (imparticular) to others working in my field. Great job BVSystems!"

"After purchasing a Squid-Pro M2M Install Tool, our site surveys have become much more reliable, quicker, and cost effective. We are now able to accurately determine all available carriers, signal strength, and even the location of the tower. This tool has been very beneficial. This product is a great investment for anyone performing fixed site cellular M2M installations."

Grant Mobley

“With only 30 minutes of the operation, the device can detect many cell phones and identify the positions which led the team to find 10 mobile phones. Everyone in the team were very happy with such excellent result and plan to make the complete report to the upper executive level. This can prove that the proposed device is very capable to work as the key device to detect the cell phone in the prisons in Thailand."

Mr. Visanu Prachongkit

Bangkwang Prison Commander

“Yesterday we had a call with support regarding a Gator Transmitter at Pelephone. Thanks for all the help and the support was great.

Following the discussion Pelephone is considering to take this older Gator out of service instead of repairing, and replace it with a Tortoise."

"We just received the battery pack in and I just wanted to send a followup email with a huge thanks for how helpful you guys were on this project. Other vendors that we've worked with on projects like this have always had a "No First" mentality - it was refreshing to be able to contact you and hear back immediately with a response and a plan. In my experience, the type of customer service that we received from BVSystems is near unheard of, and we will definitely keep that in mind when we look to enhance/expand upon our current cell-phone detection strategies.

Again, thank you - it's been an absolute pleasure working with your team."

“Based on these results we plan to place additional orders for the Bloodhound cell phone detector,”

Gary Hornbaker

Assistant Commissioner of the Maryland Division of Corrections

"Our Sales Rep was very helpful in assessing our needs and was very responsive.

We ordered the Gator test transmitter and have been very happy.  It has helped us identify the "true" coverage area of some of our CDMA basestations and has helped us to create more accurate propagation models.  As a result we have been able to better optimize our network.  With the Gator transmitter and the Coyote receiver, we can get results that aren't always possible with a PN scanner due to the sensitivity of most PN scanners.

Reggie Collette - RF Engineer

"Thank you all for your prompt service and support. We received the BumbleBee [LX] on time and the analyzer works beautifully. I sincerely appreciate the work involved in turning this unit so quickly.

Jason Lockett/Purple Tree Technologies

"My company is a Patent Licensee of Motorola, Inc., and as such I am responsible for the manufacture of products working in the Cellular and PCS frequency bands.

We purchased our first unit, a Cellular Champ Ultra-Lite in 2001 and then added a second unit, a Champ Ultra-Lite in the PCS band in 2007. Both instruments have always worked regardless of where they have been and the Cellular unit has travelled at least 100,000 miles around the U.S. and out to the sea in the Gulf with working oil rigs.

We have found the units to be well made, simple to use, very dependable and have recommended them to a number of the purchasers of the equipment we produce."

"As always, even the best designed equipment is not infallible. During an isolated time that we encountered a problem with our transmitter, it was fixed and returned quickly back to service. So not only should your products be commended, but your service as well. Keep up the excellent work!"

TEC Cellular

"The transmitter has be working just perfectly for the past two years, plus having the advantage of being small in size and weight, plus ease of operation. We have been taking this transmitter on airplanes to the neighbor islands as well as using it on the island of Oahu and have yet to encounter any problems with it."

Yellowjacket Review

"The Yellowjacket's spectrum-analysis features are tailored to the needs of IT professionals looking to troubleshoot 2.4-GHz interference. The device-list capabilities helped alert us to unauthorized device activity, and we found the supplied directional antenna attachment a real boon when tracking down rogue devices, as it's much more accurate than the typical omnidirectional antenna."

"BumbleBee Wi-Fi Spectrum Analyzer tracks all radio noise interfering with your WLAN. As I found when testing the product at our Syracuse University Real-World Labs®, it performs this task with a precision that general-purpose spectrum-analysis tools like AirMagnet's Handheld Analyzer and Fluke Networks' WaveRunner can't match."

Wireless LAN Analysis Tools Review

"YellowJacket is a good alternative to purchasing traditional RF spectrum analyzers that are often expensive, bulky, and not geared toward 802.11 networks. At $3,200, BVS puts an adequate RF spectrum analyzer in the hands of the WLAN installer at a tolerable price. Armed with YellowJacket, a WLAN technician can see the RF signals and make better decisions on how to deploy the network."

Yellowjacket Review

"Although conventional walkabouts are effective verification tools, open-air losses and antenna orientation can skew power-level readings. The only precise way to verify a device's physical layer setting is through a direct connection to the antenna connector, which is where the BVS Caterpillar drops in."
