Criminal organizations commit substantial financial crime at international border crossings, either connected to or independent of higher-profile violations such as smuggling and human trafficking.
Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) all over the world face intensifying personnel shortages. Most are unable to meet recruitment targets or even to compensate for ongoing retirements with new hires.
Ideally, intelligence analysts have the means to structure and correlate data to provide insights that advance their mission. But that vision is often defeated by noisy, siloed data and disjointed toolsets.
With 5G deployments ongoing and 6G some years away, 3GPP Release 18 provides an evolutionary step forward with the first 5G Advanced (5.5G) standard, enhancing performance, efficiency, and flexibility.
Controlling borders is vital to every country’s national interest, from managing immigration to preventing drug smuggling, human trafficking, and terrorism - but physical barriers are no longer enough.

In the coming years, AI is expected to dramatically accelerate the evolution of lawful intelligence, giving law enforcement agencies the ability to efficiently draw insight from data at unprecedented scale.
Preventing illicit trafficking is a daunting task for border security agencies. AI-powered Computer Vision and location intelligence enhance security, reduce costs, and close surveillance gaps.
Effective lawful intelligence solutions do more than just ingest and analyze data. They build evidential narratives compelling enough for court that are backed by a fully auditable chain of custody.
Encryption and OTT apps limit the value of lawful eavesdropping tools like wiretaps, but mobile networks offer a powerful engine for new insights: real-time geographical awareness using high-accuracy location.
As with the broader missions of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, lawful intelligence must balance investigative rigor with the need to preserve privacy and other civil protections.
Lawful interception of voice by LEAs harkens back to a time when unencrypted phone calls over a wireline carrier network defined electronic communication. In the smartphone era, other methods have proliferated.
The evolution of technologies, standards, and regulations gives us clues about the future but leaves room for the unexpected. This blog takes stock of new dimensions to familiar themes and some new trends.
