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.
In investigations, lives depend on the reliability of lawful intelligence platforms. To help analysts maximize the value of all available data, these platforms require advanced testing and continuous updating.
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.
By gathering, collating, and drawing possible conclusions from all available information, AI and ML can act as resource multipliers for lawful and location intelligence, just as they do for network operations.
As 5G networks roll out across the world, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are being forced to reimagine investigation methods related to lawful intelligence. The types
The metadata that surrounds the data payloads for lawful intelligence intercepts has become as important as the payload data itself. Location data, for example, can
The process of deploying and integrating solutions for lawful interception, handover, and analysis of network data is complex, but well-charted. Looking carefully at previously completed
With the increased attention to information privacy in recent years, a majority of electronic communications are now encrypted. Having that information irretrievably hidden creates novel
Many have used the terms uplink and downlink and they may become more colorful when our video calls drop off. But are “uplink” and “downlink”
Having location capabilities in a mobile network was originally an afterthought. The first Global System for Mobile (GSM) network was launched in Finland in 1991
Overview There are two broad types of surveillance capabilities and they are classified as Targeted Intercept and Bulk (Mass) Intercept. Targeted interception, or targeted surveillance,
5G is the most exciting new technology when it comes to wireless communications. Just like when 4G/LTE enabled many application developments that changed the way
The 5G world is upon us! Which means Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) have a headache: 10X to 100X normal data rates are on the horizon. LEAs
Today, the Internet of Things (or IoT) is a common part of our lives. Internet-connected thermostats enable us to make better energy decisions and we
