Locate RF surveillance devices

October 2016 Security Services & Risk Management

Eavesdropping Detection Solutions (EDS) has introduced the Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser designed specifically for detecting and locating illicit electronic radio frequency (RF) based surveillance devices. The Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser is now available in South Africa to qualifying TSCM teams and operators.

Cyber-attacks, cyber espionage, data theft and technical attacks have taken the threats to a completely new level. The Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser provides those who are serious about technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) the means and the right tool to counter the most modern RF technical attacks.

The Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser has advantages over other spectrum analysers on the market. It can sweep/scan 24 GHz in less than one second making it extremely fast. It will easily capture and log the signal of a so-called burst-bug. It is a lightweight portable system with an integrated antenna system. The fully integrated auto-switching antenna system (up to 24 GHz) reduces setup time and weight and provides the ability to analyse signals up to 24 GHz without having to change antennas.

With an extremely fast sweep time (100 kHz to 24 GHz in less than one second at 12.2 kHz steps), the Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser collects 2 000 000 data points per second, providing extremely detailed spectrum resolution.

The Oscor Blue provides portability with advanced operator features. Weighing just 3.6 kg, this hand-held spectrum analyser provides the ability to walk around with the unit during sweeps allowing the user to quickly and quietly locate RF transmitters.

The 21.3 cm high resolution touch screen display includes intuitive natural 'drag' and 'move', 'zoom' and 'pan' controls at the touch of a finger.

There are two versions available, the Oscor Blue OGR-08 (8 GHz) and the Oscor Blue OGR-24 (24 GHz) government version. The sale of the Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser is end-user letter controlled.

The Oscor Blue TSCM Spectrum Analyser is manufactured by Research Electronics International (REI) (USA). Eavesdropping Detection Solutions (EDS) is the exclusive distributor of REI products in southern and eastern Africa.
