SearchLight UMTS/GSM detection and location system
SearchLight is our state-of-the-art GSM bug detector. It provides an efficient, cost-effective and easy to use solution to the threat posed by GSM eavesdropping.
GSM based bugging and tracking devices are now the most commonly used bugs and are a very real threat to organisational security. These bugs are small, simple to deploy, use very little power and can be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world.
GSM based devices are also far more difficult to counter than conventional radio frequency bugs because TSCM radio receivers are unable to distinguish between bugs and mobile phones being used legitimately nearby.
For these reasons the use of GSM devices is growing dramatically and posing an increasingly wide spread threat to National Security & Commercial Organisations which deal with sensitive information.
SearchLight is the comprehensive professional response to the GSM eavesdropping threat.
Searchlight System Overview
SearchLight from QCC Interscan provides a cost-effective, efficient and easy to deploy solution to counter GSM threats.
Key features of SearchLight:
- Easy to use
- Quick and detailed results
- Automated detection and analysis processes
- Locate and eliminate mode
- Threat analysis tool
- Comprehensive and regularly updated database
The system uses active, patented techniques to find any GSM and UMTS devices in the areas to be swept.
Flexible Response
When devices are found the SearchLight operator can quickly distinguish between
legitimate or authorised mobile phones and GSM bugging devices. Automated processes, network surveying, system set up and range selection, device detection and results analysis make the system effective and efficient.
SearchLight’s database determines the threat level of a suspect device and is updated on a monthly basis to ensure the very latest threat information is available.
When a device is demonstrated to be hostile it can either be activated for precise location and removal or the operator can decide to allow or deny its service at will.
White lists of mobile phones can be compiled so that the system does not flag the operators mobile or other legitimate mobiles as possible hostile devices.
SearchLight is exceptionally easy to use and does not require the operator to have
technical skills beyond the SearchLight training course.
SearchLight’s sweep activities and results are logged for comprehensive report generation and SearchLight can be configured to sweep networks in different countries.
Deployment
SearchLight GSM bug detector is powered by a 120v –240V power supply and has a 12V input, allowing it to be used in vehicles.
SearchLight also has a hold-up battery which allows the unit to be unplugged and moved from room to room without the need to power SearchLight down.
SearchLight may be deployed in a stand alone mode or in cooperative modes with other equipment or systems.
User benefits
- Ideally suited for detecting and locating GPS tracking devices that use GSM technology
- Easy integration into permanent RF systems
- A cost effective perpetual countermeasure
- Cost effective remote management
- Works along side existing TSCM equipment
- Comprehensive and current database
- Simple integration into reports
Security personnel / VIP protection
Security officers are responsible for the continuous safeguard of information after the TSCM professionals have completed their job.
SearchLight provides a stand alone solution that provides continuous protection for entities from the most prevalent threats. Security personnel can quickly become confident and effective users. The system can be permanently located in a secure office or can be used to sequentially sweep offices to provide protection of the whole site.
SearchLight can also be used very effectively to prevent VIP tracking by GPS/GSM vehicle trackers. Location and elimination of trackers is simple and efficient.
Professional TSCM teams
Well equipped and highly skilled TSCM teams provide the best countermeasure to the threat of eavesdropping, effectively countering even the highest level threats. Their sweeps should include thorough physical inspection of the environment and technical counter measures for each possible type of threat. This is a time consuming and costly process and also one which often has to be frequently repeated.
SearchLight provides a cost effective method to speed up comprehensive bug sweeps for the most rapidly emerging GSM based eavesdropping devices. GSM devices have replaced traditional RF device types as the most common threat and this trend will only increase as GSM technology and bandwidths improve.
Searchlight is the only reliable system globally that can detect and located GSM and UMTS based eavesdropping devices.
Searchlight will enable professional TSCM teams to detect hostile devices and will
reduce the time required to reliably locate and eliminate them.
