In the past, we were used to working (sometimes) from our home office and spent the day on work or creating documents where concentration was needed. Nowadays in COVID-19 days, we must lead our teams via computer screens, conduct sales to existing and new customers, attempting to make new contacts, collaborate and solve problems – […]

How often reading (interesting) articles and blogs do we encounter an inexhaustible summary of all the advantages of a solution or a product? All the advantages and especially technical specifications come forward in the hope (of a supplier) of convincing customers (you!) to ultimately award an order to the supplying company. From our perspective, this […]

Data retention is all about persisting and disclosing data to meet legal, compliance, and business data archival requirements. One of the key requirements of data retention is that the stored data is available for retrieval during the entire operational period.

Many investigations rely on that “single” (smart)phone interaction that turns out to be the lead to prevent or resolve an illicit activity or find the person that needs aid.

For repetitive tasks, each click, each keystroke costs time. Fewer clicks and keystrokes increase efficiency. No one will debate that. Still, a lot of software applications are not designed with this simple principle in mind. Particularly, when a process is not standard for each organization or user. What is missing here is that within the […]

It is a fact that the “future” 5G networks are designed to enhance subscribers’ privacy. This causes technological concerns for intelligence services to gain the right data from the network in the new Era of mobile communications for the purpose of tactical operations. Traditional tactical IMSI operations are designed and aimed to identify, locate or […]

It was widely spread in the news, many countries today use Network Based Intelligence to contain the spreading of COVID-19

The COVID-19 virus spreads across the globe at high speed. Many national and regional governments have taken precautionary measures or are preparing them to slow down the further spread. The severity of these measures increases at the same time. As your architects in safety and intelligence, we expect you’ll have questions regarding the continuity of […]

Lawful Interception is a powerful tool for Police and Intelligence Services to fight crime and terrorism. Obviously, the availability of lawful interception is of paramount importance and even a short downtime of this service could have disastrous consequences for ongoing investigations.

To fulfill legal obligations, telecommunication network operators are obliged to handle legal warrants for lawful intercepts and lawful disclosures. With increasing numbers of warrants and the use of electronic handover interfaces, network operators may come in a situation where they feel that they are losing control over the process.

Lawful Interception (LI) architectures deployed in telecommunication networks consist of many complex building blocks that are connected and integrated together. If one of these building blocks fails for whatever reason, potential important and often crucial intercepted data can be lost.

One of the Technical Committees of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is responsible for developing standards that support the technical requirements of national and international obligations for law enforcement: the Technical Committee on Lawful Interception (TC-LI).

Over the previous generations of mobile networks, we have seen a steady increase in bandwidth and a move from traditional circuit-switched technology to an all-IP network. The 5G network takes this massive step further in various aspects. 5G is much, much more than the common perspective of mobile “ users” “just like 4G, but faster”!

Everybody working in Telecom and IT knows that developments are going faster and faster. We have only just gotten used to 4G and then the auction for 5G is on the doorstep and the technology for 6G with speeds that literally make us dizzy is already partly conceived.
