Wireless Activity Monitor

Wideband Detection
The 0-14 GHz Wideband detector provides the highest range of coverage of all RF activity in the target area. The frequency of the detected signal (up to 6GHz) can be seen simultaneously and the ‘Livescan’ software shows the detected live signal pattern graphically to help identify the signal type. This can be particularly useful when searching for pulsing or burst devices such as GPS trackers.

Worldwide Cellular Band Detection
The WAM-X5 has separate Worldwide multiband Cellular coverage. Simply select the international region the device is being used in and the WAM-X25 will detect signals from all the relevant local cellular bands. This means the WAM-X25 is ready for the rollout of the latest 5G devices, worldwide. Of course, all existing 2G, 3G and 4G bands will also be covered. It can be used in any environment where cellular devices are forbidden such as sensitive meeting rooms to check for hidden devices, unauthorised mobile phone usage in offices, exam halls, hospitals, or prisons and in vehicles to locate the latest Vehicle/Asset tracking devices. All cellular activity is logged and can be reviewed at a at any time, graphically or in list format.

2.4 GHz & 5GHz Wi-Fi Detection
The WAM-X25 has a separate 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz bands for detecting the rapidly growing threat from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Video and other latest generation ‘Store & Forward’ devices. Such devices can for example, record audio over long periods and then transmit it in short regular bursts. It will also detect other devices that use these bands such as covert wireless video transmitters.

Wi-Fi Network Analyser
The WAM-X25 features a new Independent Wi-Fi Network (2.4 & 5GHz) Analyser to provide detailed activity information about WLAN networks in the surrounding area such as Hotspots, Routers, Wi-Fi cameras etc. The device will scan through detected Wi-Fi Access Points/Clients and compile a detailed list of information: Date & Time of Event, Wi-Fi MAC Address, Manufacturer (If available), Type (Access point or Client), Number of Data Packets detected, Wi-Fi SSID (If available) and band (2.4 or 5 GHz).

Bluetooth Device Analyser
The WAM-X25 also features a built-in Bluetooth analyser to list nearby active Bluetooth devices such as Smartphones, Tablets, headphones, fitness trackers etc. Information gathered includes: Date & Time of Event, Bluetooth MAC Address, Manufacturer (If available), Signal Strength in dBm and number of Data Packets detected.

Direction Find Function
The new direction find mode enables the user to locate the source of a detected RF signal by rotating the WAM-X25 through 360 degrees using the supplied directional antenna. By slowly rotating the unit, signal strength information is gathered and plotted graphically over 360 degrees to give the user an accurate indication of the detected signal source.

A new keypad design means operation is simple and intuitive. All information is displayed on a high resolution colour 7-inch TFT screen that allows the user to simultaneously perform real time detection and to view events that have previously occurred. Each band has an individual 20 element signal strength meter enabling the precise source of a detected signal to be located with ease. An audible ‘Beep’ mode allows the user to monitor without looking at the display and a silent Vibrate mode can also be used for particularly sensitive areas.

Up to 10,000 events can be stored within the WAM-X25 for viewing simultaneously as a list or graphically. For each detected signal (no matter how long or short) it will record the Time/Date, Duration, Band detected and Signal strength. This can be particularly useful in identifying the type of device that is being detected. For example: a string of regular short bursts in one particular band may represent those from a GSM/GPS Tracking device. These could be clearly viewed in Graph Mode as lines of regular spacing representing the pulsing nature of the transmission. Also by looking at call activity at certain times of the day may help identify unauthorised phone use in sensitive areas such as prisons, company board rooms, exam halls, etc. The entire event log can also be downloaded to a USB stick for storage or transfer to a computer where it can be viewed/sorted for analysis or reporting.
