Preventing Cellular Use in Restricted Areas

In the business world, corporate strategy, product design, and financial decisions are considered sensitive information.

Such sensitive information usually has limited access and strong security safeguards are put in place to protect it.

In a meeting where sensitive information is discussed, a cell phone / mobile phone can transmit the entire discussion over the airwaves to an outsider. The phone may be transmitting such information even without the knowledge or intervention of the owner of the phone.

In the world of terrorism and industrial spying, cell phones / mobile phones are integral tools of the perpetrator.

Sensitive Corporate Settings

Large corporate campuses have a need to protect their sensitive information similar to governments. As an example, the design of a new automobiles or the private strategy or financial discussions of a public company.

Within the hospitality business, cell phone & mobile phone disturbances in meeting space will become a major distinguishing feature to high-end hotels and conference facilities.

Terrorists
Terrorists are using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to blow up targets around the world. The detonator of choice for these IEDs is a cell phone. When the cell phone rings it sets off the bomb.

The major terrorist bombs in Bali were detonated by cell phones. The train bombings in Madrid used cell phones.

Audio Bugs
With newer technology, many cell phone models can be easily used as remote-controlled clandestine listening devices ("bugs"), often with little or no modification. These can be set that way intentionally by the phone's user - and unintentionally by someone other than the phone's user! See our reference on this.
