Abstract: A system for managing devices within a restricted area or facility provides for the collection of information from sources, such as commercial carriers, private network carrier, etc., local management systems and area or facility related information and performs a correlation of the information, which may be both current and historical, to determine a status of a device attempting to transmit or receive communicative (voice or text) while within the area or the facility. The system provides for the identification of devices that are unauthorized or contraband devices operating within the area or facility while distinguishing devices that are either authorized to operate within the area or devices that are not registered within the area but are also not to be interfered with.

Abstract: A method of detecting, controlling and managing transmission of a transmitting device within a facility is disclosed. The method involves transmitting information to the transmission device, detecting a response transmission from the transmission device by a least one transmission detection facility, extracting identification information associated with the transmission device in response to the transmitted information; and determining a location of the transmission device based on the response transmission received by the at least one received transmission detection facility, wherein the response transmissions are sorted by the identification information, determining an allowability of the located transmission device within the set area and reducing a power level of a transmitted signal for a predetermined period of time, when allowability is indicated.
