Cellular network analysis for law enforcement agencies

Justice in the fast lane

Stay ahead of crime with cellular network analysis

In today's fast-paced world, law enforcement agencies need to stay one step ahead of criminals to keep the public and communities safe. As crime becomes more complex, law enforcement agencies need sophisticated tools to gather evidence, track suspects and present reliable testimony in court. Cellular network analysis solutions from Rohde & Schwarz help law enforcement agencies do just that. With real-time insights into cellular network activity, our solutions help law enforcement agencies make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation and efficiently enhance public safety.

Customer challenges

Mobile networks and public communications infrastructure are vital to current and future criminal prosecution. Modern criminal organizations frequently use mobile phone networks for their operations making the monitoring of these networks crucial for law enforcement. This monitoring lets law enforcement gain full situational awareness and efficiently analyze data retrieved from cellular networks.

Under such difficult conditions, law enforcement requires efficient crime scene investigations, alibi verification and potential suspect locating solutions that provide reliable information to support accurate, tar¬geted prosecution. When analyzing mobile network traces, solutions for cellular networks have to meet some stringent requirements:

  • Reliable, relevant cell information and data in a form that is easy to understand to help quickly and effectively develop and execute a course of action
  • A turnkey solution that is quick and easy to pick up and operate without intensive onboarding
  • Preset modules for specific use cases that eliminate the need for complicated new settings with each new application

Situational awareness

Situational awareness is vital for informed decision-making and effective resource allocation by law enforcement agencies. Real-time insight into cellular network activity lets the Rohde & Schwarz cellular network analysis solution help law enforcement agencies gain a complete situational picture with:

  • Automatic channel detection (ACD), finding all networks, bands, channels and technologies in a network
  • (Airborne) cell position estimation (CPE/APE) with geographic position estimates of mobile radio cells in real-time on site or in post-processing as information provided by mobile network operators is not always accurate (they constantly optimize their networks by modifying cell configurations, reframing, etc.).
  • Cell measurement and evaluation (CME) for advanced insight for expert users on cell coverage, configurations, area served, etc.

Forensic investigations

Whenever a crime is committed, time is of the essence. Investigating a typical crime scene can involve hundreds of base stations using different technologies and frequency bands. Finding the right base station and identifying the correct subscriber as quickly as possible are crucial. Cellular network analysis solutions from Rohde & Schwarz also support law enforcement agencies in gathering evidence and in presenting reliable testimony at trial thanks to:

  • Crime scene investigations (CSI) that analyze cell coverage at incident locations, determining all cell activity from all network operators that might be used for communications in specific areas to identify suspects as quickly as possible
  • Mobile network trace comparisons with measured data for reliable confirmation of whether an individual mobile phone was at a specific location at the time of a crime to verify alibis (ALI)
  • Determination of the area of interest to search, locate and secure potential suspects (SAR) and characterize optimum parameters for new cells to be added to the network for quick cell configuration and activation (ICP)

Search and Rescue

In search and rescue (F2) operations for missing or injured persons, law enforcement agencies must act quickly and efficiently. Cellular network analysis solutions from Rohde & Schwarz support law enforcement agencies in time-critical missions with:

  • Fast and efficient determination of target area to quickly identify the location of missing persons (SAR) and trigger emergency network deployment
  • Characterization of optimum parameters for new cells to add to the (emergency) network for quick cell configuration and activation (ICP)
