Signal meter - BVS Octopus 4G LTE Public Safety - installation optimization, pocket-sized

Octopus 4G LTE Public Safety is a device designed to optimise wireless installations and antenna settings. The instrument supports the work of the emergency services, as well as optimising the performance of fire alarms, utility meters and other security systems.

Wide range of applications

The Octopus 4G LTE Public Safety signal meter from BVS is an innovative device for optimising wireless installations and security systems. Its main purpose is to support emergency services such as FirstNet Authority, which require reliable coverage in emergency situations.

The device is also ideal for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations such as the Tesla Supercharger and ChargePoint, providing them with optimal network connectivity.

Real-time signal measurement

The operation of the Octopus 4G LTE Public Safety meter is based on real-time measurement of RSSI, RSRP and RSRQ signals. This is crucial for optimising 4G network coverage, precise antenna placement and ensuring the best connection quality.

Additionally, this mode of operation makes the model an ideal device for migrating from 3G to 4G technology. This is a major benefit for companies and organisations that are upgrading their security and telecommunications systems.

Support for multiple network operators

Octopus 4G LTE Public Safety supports the largest mobile network operators, as well as many regional ones. Furthermore, the equipment supports the dedicated emergency services FirstNet (Band 14) network. It thus offers a stable, high-bandwidth connection in emergency situations.

This is key to improving the efficiency of emergency services operations.

Easy operation

Octopus has been designed with simple operation in mind. It offers an intuitive menu that comprehensively guides you through the process of operator selection and signal measurement. In addition, the device features a standard SMA connector, allowing direct connection to directional antennas

This makes the set-up and subsequent correction of the antennas fast and precise, and users can take real-time measurements while still in adjustment. This allows signal strength to be maximised.

Data export to PC

Octopus enables efficient export of measurement results to a PC for further analysis and optimisation of the installation. This feature is particularly useful for companies and institutions that need to accurately monitor and report on mobile signal quality.

With precise RSRP, RSRQ and RSSI measurements, users are assured that their installations are operating at the highest level of performance.

Durability and mobility

The Octopus 4G LTE Public Safety signal meter features a small size that allows the equipment to be tucked into a pocket. This way, it can be kept close at hand at all times, which is useful for analysis in many locations. An additional advantage is the long operating time of approximately 10 hours.

In addition, the device features a high resistance to mechanical damage, so it will not fail during field operation.
