Federal Surveillance Technology & Gabriel De La Vega Jr.'s Patented Live Streaming Innovation
Also known as StingRay devices, these systems masquerade as legitimate cell towers, forcing nearby phones to connect and reveal their location and identifying information.
Modern surveillance systems now incorporate real-time video streaming capabilities, enhancing traditional IMSI catching with visual intelligence gathering.
Advanced cell site simulators can force devices to downgrade to less secure 2G/3G connections, enabling deeper surveillance capabilities.
Federal Bureau of Investigation - Leading user of StingRay technology for criminal investigations and counterterrorism operations.
Drug Enforcement Administration - Utilizes cell site simulators for drug trafficking investigations and surveillance operations.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement - Employs IMSI catchers for immigration enforcement and border security operations.
National Security Agency - Advanced surveillance capabilities using cell site simulators for intelligence gathering operations.
U.S. Secret Service - Protective operations and financial crime investigations using cell site simulator technology.
U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and National Guard - Tactical surveillance and communications intelligence operations.
