Patent number: 10959048Abstract: A location-tracking system that includes multiple detector units that are deployed in a region of interest. The detector units receive uplink signals from wireless terminals that are active in the region, and measure the strengths of the received uplink signals. The system computes the locations of the terminals based on the measured signal strengths and the known locations of the detector units. The location-tracking system receives and analyzes downlink signals from one or more of the base stations of the wireless network. The detector unit uses the downlink signal to recover and synchronize to the timing of the wireless network's air-interface. Based on the extracted uplink allocations, and having synchronized with the air-interface, the system is able to distinguish between the uplink signal components originating from each terminal, and thus compute the location of each terminal.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: VERINT SYSTEMS LTD.Inventor: Ishay Barlev

Patent number: 9749921Abstract: Systems and methods to instruct a mobile device to switch from a first protocol to a second protocol after registering the device on a network associated with the first protocol. This may be done to obtain a cryptographic key used by the device. For example, for some communication protocols, such as 3G and 4G communication protocols, obtaining the cryptographic key is difficult. However, the 2G communication protocol uses a cryptographic key that is easier to obtain. Only after obtaining the key, the phone instructed to again switch to the first communication protocol. During the exchange of communication, the user is likely to be holding the phone at his ear, such that he is unlikely to notice that the phone is using the first communication protocol. Hence, the exchange of communication may be decrypted and monitored, without the user noticing anything amiss.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: VERINT SYSTEMS LTD.Inventor: Ishay Barlev

Publication number: 20140242948Abstract: A method for targeting a wireless device in the vicinity of a checkpoint, the checkpoint including at least one optionally automated operator station, wherein the targeted device is to be correlated with the identity of the targeted bearer of the device. Each station has at least a wireless device identity sensor and the vicinity of each station is defined as a bubble having a specified radius. The wireless device is part of an authorized wireless device network. The method includes installing an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) catcher as a surreptitious mobile tower in the midst of the authorized official network, and registering with the network. The registration supports all the present operators in the terminal. The method also includes moving the wireless device to one of the bubbles prior to the bearer leaving the counter and correlating the wireless device ID with the bearer ID.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: U-TX LtdInventors: Roy Glasberg, Ishay Barlev
