Octopus 4G LTE Signal Meter optimizes wireless installation sites and antenna alignments for EV charging stations and vital services including security and fire alarms, elevators, emergency phones, medical emergency services, carbon monoxide detectors and more. Octopus is also designed for both professional and non-professional installers that need to verify the strongest signal for weBoost, WilsonPro, EZ4G, Flare, HiBoost, SureCall Fusion4Home and many other 4G cellular repeater systems. Cell signal boosters are popular in areas where cellular coverage is spotty or weak and can greatly boost any mobile signal. Do you trust your smartphone’s field test mode or signal bars? It is limited to your phone’s particular antenna design, speed and carrier. Field test mode (FTM) apps and signal bars do not deliver accurate realtime measurements required for cell signal booster installations. Octopus helps Charge Point Operators and Installers measure nearby cellular base stations and directional antenna alignment necessary for site surveys for remote wireless networks including Tesla Supercharger locations and ChargePoint EV charging stations. Octopus ships with everything you need to get started including a rugged carrying case, charging dock, antenna and PC software for export of measurements for further analysis.

Octopus steps users through a series of simple menu choices starting with carrier. If you already have a contract with a specific wireless carrier or your cell signal booster only supports that carrier, you can select that carrier and continue. If you’re not sure which carrier is best for your cell booster installation, you can quickly scan all 4G (LTE) carriers and sort results instantly by carrier name, frequency band or signal strength using Octopus’ color touchscreen. Octopus measures 4G LTE all in one unit making it ideal for migrating from older 3G to newer 4G networks. Once you’ve selected a carrier, Octopus will display bright signal strength in real time with peak measurement as well as large text including carrier name, band number and signal strength in RSRP and RSRQ.
Octopus includes a standard SMA connector allowing a direct connection to any antenna including directional antennas usually mounted outside. Simply connect antenna line into Octopus, locate the cellular base station signal that you want to boost and go to the antenna alignment screen. From there, you receive instant measurements as you adjust your antenna for maximum signal strength. If you do not know where the best wireless base station is located, you can quickly search in every direction using a direction finding antenna and Octopus in DF mode.

Great tool for EV charging station signal confirmation
Don’t guess that you have a good signal for your EV charging station infrastructure. Know for certain which carriers are delivering a strong signal. This device delivers accurate data you can trust and have confidence in delivering deployments. Recommended!

Best in the business
I have to often take cell readings for EV services. This product makes that a lot easier. I have used other cell readers and they don’t stand up to the octopus. The interface is easy to use, turns on and runs cell test quickly and the battery lasts. This makes taking multiple reading very effortless. Also comes in a very nice carrying case!

Excellent tool for technicians
I purchased this meter for my pool of technicians to use for measuring cellular signal strength prior to quoting wireless DACTs. Quickly reduced/eliminated installing a product and finding out there is a signal coverage issue after the fact. Fantastic purchase for this application.

Training videos were great. I recommended to others.
Amazon Customer
Easy to use. Very intuitive and provides several methods to interpret relevant data
The product works well right out of the box. Charged it up and screwed on the antenna and it was ready to use. I like the fact that you can see multiple carriers or choose just one and can toggle through various signal types very easily. Lightweight and compact so it can be carried into the field. The graphics are clear and easy to read. I would recommend this product.

Drop Dead Simple to Use
My company makes IoT sensors that use cellular data to communicate with the cloud. Bought this device to confirm signal strength and select the best provider for a site. High price made me think twice before purchasing, but the great reviews convinced me to go ahead and I’m glad I did.
This product is a classic case of “you get what you pay for.” It comes in a cushioned industrial grade carrying case that is ready to head to the field. Easy to use touch screen combined with a self-explanatory interface lets you get operational in seconds without having to spend a bunch of time reading manuals or searching the web for help. Results come within seconds and continuously update so you have a good idea of signal strength and variability within about a minute. I have not experimented with the data download feature, but expect that is excellent as well.
If you need a dependable tool rather than a toy, stop searching and buy this one!
