IMSI catching and Managed Access

IMSI catching and managed access systems allow secure facilities to identify unauthorised mobile devices and control which devices are permitted to connect to cellular networks within a defined perimeter. These solutions give prisons, government sites and other secure environments granular oversight of mobile network activity, helping prevent unauthorised communication while allowing approved devices to operate normally.

How it works

A private network inside your perimeter

Managed access antennas inside the facility pick up every phone before it reaches the public network. Each device is checked against your policy: approved phones are passed through, everything else is denied and logged.
