Mobile Manipulation | Manipulation of Specific Mobiles
Where a mobile is in the course of being put to an unlawful
use, it can only be disabled by taking it out of service. This
procedure is normally under the control of the network operator,
and will take hours, if not days, to complete. In theory it
would also be possible to disrupt use of the mobile by taking
down the whole network, but this is an unacceptable solution
because of the disruption to commerce and normal life. As well,
radio frequency jammers may be used to block all mobile communication
within a specific area, but this is only practicable where
a designated location is suspected in advance. This also temporarily
prevents normal use of all mobiles in that area.
The SOS Technology solution is unique since it can selectively
intercept, monitor and alter the operation of individual selected
mobile devices whilst allowing other mobile phones in the network
to function normally. This network based Data Manipulation
Solution can change the status of a selected phone and disable
it completely by preventing it from making or receiving any
calls. In addition, it allows manipulation of SMS messages
in real time. The effect is achieved discretely.
Specifically it,
- prevents specific mobile phones making outgoing
calls;
- prevents specific mobile phones from receiving
incoming calls;
- provides a ring tone no reply to the caller;
- prevents SMS
text messages from being delivered;
- alters, and then passes
on, SMS text messages in real time;
- indentifies devices
through MSISDN (phone number) or IMEI (handest identifier);
The system is controlled remotely from a secure monitoring
centre under the control of the security agency. This prevents
outside interference in the operation of the system, or
reliance upon any other agencies. It operates in real time
and instantly implements instructions. The system can therefore
instantaneously disrupt unlawful activities without reliance
on other agencies to implement time critical instructions.
The system uses a rules based approach to automate the operation
of data manipulation capability
