Description

Wideband Detection for Modern Wireless Threats
Modern covert surveillance devices increasingly rely on cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth transmission protocols instead of traditional analog RF bugs. The PHC3 is designed to address this reality with continuous detection coverage from 1 MHz to 6 GHz, enabling identification of active 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G transmitters, wireless cameras, GSM audio bugs, and cellular tracking devices.
Its ability to detect LTE and 5G communication signals improves inspection effectiveness in environments where conventional RF detectors often fail to recognize modern digital transmissions.
Dedicated Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Threat Identification
Unlike basic broadband RF detectors, the PHC3 provides separate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth inspection interfaces for clearer threat analysis. Operators can identify nearby hotspots, Bluetooth devices, and suspicious wireless terminals during inspections.
The system also supports detection of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tracking devices such as Apple AirTag, Huawei Tag, and similar covert positioning tags frequently associated with unauthorized tracking or personnel monitoring.
High-Sensitivity Signal Localization
The PHC3 combines high receiver sensitivity with real-time audio indication to assist operators in locating concealed transmitters. As the operator approaches the signal source, the audible alert frequency increases, helping narrow the search area and improve inspection efficiency in vehicles, meeting rooms, command posts, and temporary facilities.
Its high dynamic range improves the detection of weak or intermittent wireless transmissions in complex RF environments.
Touchscreen Operation & Signal Logging
The integrated 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen provides a fast, menu-driven operating experience suitable for field deployment. Built-in signal logging functions support extended recording of cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth activity for later review and forensic analysis.
Exportable log data allows security teams to retain inspection records for operational reporting and post-event investigation.

Applications Scenarios

Tactical Command Post Security Inspection

Temporary command centers and field coordination rooms often contain sensitive operational discussions while operating in RF-dense environments filled with radios, smartphones, and wireless infrastructure. This creates opportunities for covert transmitters or unauthorized wireless devices to remain unnoticed.

The PHC3 allows security personnel to conduct rapid RF sweeps before briefings or mission planning sessions, helping identify suspicious cellular transmitters, wireless cameras, or Bluetooth tracking devices concealed inside equipment cases, furniture, or nearby vehicles.

Secure Facility & SCIF Perimeter Inspection

Sensitive offices, communication centers, and restricted-access areas may prohibit unauthorized wireless transmissions, yet modern surveillance devices can exploit cellular and Wi-Fi networks to exfiltrate data discreetly.

Using its multi-interface detection modes, the PHC3 helps inspection personnel identify active wireless emissions within controlled zones and detect unauthorized devices operating inside protected facilities.

Counter-Surveillance During VIP & Delegation Protection

Military delegations, defense contractors, and high-level visitors are increasingly exposed to covert tracking and electronic monitoring threats during travel or temporary accommodation.

The PHC3 enables close-protection teams to inspect hotel rooms, vehicles, and meeting areas for hidden wireless cameras, GSM bugs, AirTags, and unauthorized Bluetooth devices before occupancy, reducing the risk of location tracking or conversation leakage.

Vehicle Inspection & Covert Tracker Detection

Operational vehicles, transport units, and logistics assets may be targeted with concealed GPS or Bluetooth tracking devices to monitor movement patterns and deployment activity.

The PHC3 assists operators in locating active wireless trackers attached to vehicles or equipment by detecting Bluetooth beacon activity and suspicious RF transmissions during inspection procedures.
