BVS Contraband Cell Phone Detectors Win Prestigious Security Products' Government Security Awards

Wolfhound-PRO and WatchHound win in wireless security categories

METUCHEN, NJ, April 6, 2011 -- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. (BVS), a leading provider of advanced wireless solutions and security products to the domestic and international wireless telecommunications industry, has won additional awards for their Wolfhound family of security products. 

On March 22nd, Security Products magazine announced that the Wolfhound-PRO won in the  Cell Phone Monitor Category and the WatchHoundä won in the Cell Phone Detector Access Control Category.

“These awards are especially gratifying as they recognize the importance of providing an efficient, cost effective solution for the rapidly growing problem of contraband cell phones being used by inmates in correctional facilities,” said Scott Schober, President & CEO of BVS.

The Wolfhound-PRO high speed scanning receiver utilizes a multi-band DF (Direction Finding) antenna system allowing security personnel to locate nearby cell phones in either standby mode or during active voice, text or data transmissions.

The Watchhound Cell Phone Security Monitor continuously scans any cell phone prohibited area essentially creating wireless-free zones without the need for jamming. All incoming and outgoing cellular calls are detected and time stamped for analysis. The receiver can be configured to look like a common thermostat for more covert enforcement and features an OLED display, remote control and utilizes Power (PoE) over Ethernet.

Both products will be displayed in the ISC West Expo BVS booth #2054 at the annual ISC West Expo that will be held April 6-8 in Las Vegas at the Sands Expo Convention Center.
