Berkeley Releases EtherHound Cell Phone Detector to Enforce Networked Cell Phone Free Zones

November 17, 2011 (Metuchen, NY)—Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. (BVS), a leading provider of advanced wireless solutions and security products to the domestic and international wireless telecommunications industry, announces the release of EtherHound Cell Phone Detector.

The EtherHound™ is a cell phone detector used to enforce a ‘No Cell Phone Policy’ in a secure facility. EtherHound is a discreet receiver that can be mounted anywhere and powered over ethernet (PoE) creating a networked array of sensors. When a cell phone is detected, a time-stamped alert is emailed from each EtherHound to the server with time & location tags. These alerts are stored as data in an SQL database for further analysis or control via EtherHound’s optional client application software. EtherHound includes dry contacts for customizable trigger alerts when a cell phone is detected including audio, cameras, lights, etc.

“We have gotten a lot of requests from secured facilities looking for a low-cost solution for detecting and reporting unauthorized cell phone use. EtherHound meets that need.” Says Scott Schober, BVS President & CEO.

EtherHound and optional client database software are available now. For more information visit www.bvsystems.com.
