SENTRY brings double the collection resources of our groundbreaking SPOTTER receiver, providing 6 channels of 200Mhz of coverage. In most cases, SENTRY can single-handedly cover all bands and providers of 4G cellular simultaneously. SENTRY is the quintessential do-it-all system for drive survey and collection. From Phase 0 survey operations for both cellular and DPTT to all formats of cellular and DPTT collection, the SENTRY is designed to perform both tasks.
SENTRY utilizes G3T’s industry proven Tetley Scanner software, paired with G3T designed and in-house built, direct conversion tuners to deliver high fidelity cellular survey. SENTRY provides coverage from 75MHz to 6GHz with a 6 x 200MHz tuner configuration allowing coverage of multiple bands throughout the spectrum. Data files are outputted in .G3NS and .GNS formats and compatible with both ROVER and RAPTORX. The receiver houses all of the data until offloaded or retrieved by the user or by automated analytics systems.
Wireless technologies include GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, and 5G. SENTRY monitors and decodes Uplink (UL) and Downlink (DL) messages simultaneously, providing for soft geo-location of user equipment (UE) operating with. G3T receivers (SENTRY/SPOTTER) are interoperable and interchangeable within the G3T Collection & Analytics ecosystem. Additionally, incorporating G3T’s Non-Alerting Techniques (NATs) and active network characterization tools (HYDRA/TETLEY HANDY) enables extremely refined UE location.
SENTRY is also capable of collecting DPTT (DMR/P25/NXDN/AM/FM) and feeding the data into our Tactalytics data analysis platform. Tactalytics provides precise DMR network link analysis, Pattern Of Life (POL), voice analysis tools and exact metadata to bring the user absolute ground truth on DPTT transmissions and networks. With 7TB of storage the receiver can capture over a billion data records which allows for long term remote or unattended data collection.
