GEOLOCATION SOLUTION

A complete geolocation solution, acquires real-time location information for target mobile phones—at any time, in any network, across the globe.

Cellular phone technology makes it possible to determine the location of phones in mobile networks. This is critically advantageous during rescue operations when phone owners are unable to communicate with rescuers and it offers intelligence agencies with the ability to track and follow target whereabouts.

The increasing techno-sophistication of criminals and terrorists means they are well aware of cyber tracking options and, as such, take steps to hide or disguise their location.

The ideal for intelligence agencies is to seamlessly and covertly track targets without risk of being detected or identified. Our geolocation solution meets these challenges!

The geolocation is transparent to the target—it can’t be identified, blocked, or traced back to the operational user.

ACTIVE TACTICAL INTERCEPTION

Active Tactical Interception locates, detects, controls, intercepts, and manipulates target devices and their communications.

Operational Flow:

  1. REALTIME DETECTION of 2G, 3G, and 4G GSM-standard mobile phones located within the System operational-coverage zone.
  2. FULL CONTROL—a target device is identified, registered to the System network, and then their communications are fully controlled using Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) technology which remains undetectable as it mimics real network parameters.
  3. PRECISELY LOCATE using a tactical, hand-held homing device that gives you a location accuracy level of 1-meter!
  4. INTERCEPT all target device communication traffic (Voice calls and SMS) once it is under the System control.
  5. MANIPULATE targets by changing the original content of incoming/outgoing SMS or create fake SMS or calls to a target.

Range

The Focus-Zone sub-system has an operational range of up to 1 km though, with our Expanded-Zone option, this increases to 2 Km.

Environmental factors play a part during real-time usage.

 In heavily built-up urban areas, where the interception zone is smaller, the range is about 150 meters.

 In rural areas, where cell coverage encompasses a larger territory, the interception distances will be greater.

Capabilities

  1. Defines key mobile phone parameters required for the System operation: IMSI, IMEI, KC, Public Number, and more.
  2. Captures full incoming and outgoing mobile phone traffic located within the System operational zone.
  3. Manipulates mobile phone states—identify the location of a mobile station (target) by remotely activating its GPS receiver and microphone.
  4. Operates in stealth mode (GSM networks) using various types of encoding (А5.2)

Operational Modes

The System operating modes include Catcher, Interceptor, Target Correlation, and Local Network.

Catcher Mode

  1. Covertly obtains the main identification parameters of mobile stations—IMSI, IMEI, TMSI, Kc, etc.
  2. IMSI detection and IMEI catching
  3. Prevents operation of a select mobile station (target) or group of stations found within the System coverage zone.

Interceptor Mode

Maintains full control over mobile station target traffic (incoming and outgoing) captured by the System.

Further, the System supports subscriber (target) selection using known IMSI and/or IMEI identifiers.

  1. RANDOM MODE intercepts all captured mobile phones and records all traffic within the operational zone of coverage.
  2. TARGET MODE intercepts the traffic of a given target.

Target Correlation Mode

Utilized to distinguish select target parameters from amongst all the subscribers registered to the System.

The technique compares between subscribers—subscriber data is collected from different addresses during varying time periods—registered to the internal network.

Local Network Mode 1

  1. The System supports mobile-station operations during critical situations—such as restoration of a radio coverage zone—by creating a private network.
  2. Search, detection, and possible contact with GSM mobile station owners during hostage-taking scenarios, natural disasters, and accidents.
  3. Supports the System operator’s exclusive contact with pre-determined mobile stations.

3G INTERCEPTION

The unique 3G INTERCEPTION system captures calls, SMS and data, and manipulates cellular devices/subscribers—3G/UMTS networks are used without downgrading to 2G/GSM networks.

  1. The 3G INTERCEPTION system creates a virtual BTS (Node B):
  2. Features the best operational parameters for 3G/UMTS communications.
  3. Provides authentication/cyphering keys to targeted cellular devices.

A cellular device registering to the Node B reveals its IMSI and IMEI identities as well as other detailed information about its communication capabilities.

The 3G INTERCEPTION user—having collected all required information—can release a mobile device to the provider’s 3G/UMTS network OR provide the target device with authentication/cyphering keys in order to perform cellular interception and manipulation.

  6. Use as a standalone 3G/UMTS interception system.
  7. Integrates with a data manipulation unit.
  8. Upon return to the provider network, targets do not receive any network-issued SMS.

PASSIVE TACTICAL INTERCEPTION

The Passive Tactical Interception System Performance Network Analyzer (PNA) is designed to passively intercept cellular communications over GSM networks; it is based on a wide-band, high-sensitivity receiver that covers the GSM/DCM spectrum. During operations, the System detects all over-the-air (OTA) communications and intercepts them in real-time. This is achieved using a unique, high power A5/1 decipher that decrypts OTA GSM traffic and presents it to the user for further analysis.

Operational Modes

The System modes are easily operated using its interactive and user-friendly interface.

  1. TARGET MODE alerts the user to all calls made from a given target MSISDN.
  2. MASS INTERCEPTION MODE intercepts all OTA communications within operational range.

Intercepted Information

  1. Every intercepted Voice/SMS session is automatically recorded and registered; collected particulars include date, time, incoming/outgoing, duration, MSISDN, and Cell ID particulars.
  2. Analyzes downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) channels; includes IMSI/TMSI (as defined by given MNO) and, if captured via UL, incoming MSISDN or outgoing MSISDN/IMEI.

Capabilities

Automatically detects:

  1. All BTS—within the System operational range—that operate over GSM networks; it also evaluates their BTS signal quality.
  2. All communications (Voice, SMS, network updates) made by an intercepted BTS.
  3. Presents the network parameters of intercepted BTS—MCC, MNC, Cell ID, LAC, etc.
  4. Simultaneous control and decoding of up to 128 GSM channels (simplex channels).
