Intercepting Communication Channels

HSS Cellular Intercept Systems can capture Forward and Reverse cellular channels of a cell phone call.  This feature helps improve information gathering, increasing the amount of intelligence captured.  This feature also can help confirm details about the target, possible accomplice activity, and help Law Enforcement move quickly against criminals, terrorists, or suspected felons.  


 
HSS Cellular Intercept Systems can also capture the signals of the Control Channel frequencies, aiding in the ability to monitor the call as it moves between cellular antenna sites.  In cellular communications, the Control Channels represent the frequencies used to communicate with the cellular network to prevent calls from getting dropped. 
 
When cellular phone conversations take place, cell phone handsets send and receive radio signals to and from cellular antenna towers.  The path these radio signals flow in is characterized as a pattern of multi-directional flow.  For Interception, the flow encompasses forward and reverse directions.  These directions classify the flow of signals traveling over channels, called forward and reverse channels. 
 
The Forward channels manage the movement of signals from the cellular towers to the cellular phone handsets.  The Reverse Channels manage the movement of signals from the cellular phone handsets to the cellular towers.  The towers, in turn, connect with the party other than the cellular phone handset. 
 
In order to keep track of the target’s communication, and prevent a loss of the signals carrying the communication, there needs to be a synchronous monitoring of the Control Channel activity.  Without this feature, the intercepted communication could be lost once the channel carrying the communication signals change.
