Can Your Crime Center See the Cellular Layer?
The cellular environment normally isn't one of your real-time crime center's sources.
Why It Matters
Portable rogue cellular systems create a timing problem. The transmitter may run for minutes or hours, the person running it may be on the move, and victims may not understand what happened until later.
Traditional investigation often starts after the source is gone.
Local law enforcement has one important advantage: officers are already in the area while the event is happening.
How Kingfisher Fits
Real-time crime centers (RTCCs) pull together calls, vehicles, license-plate readers, private feeds and intelligence while events unfold. A fake cell tower can run for minutes or hours and be gone before an investigation starts, but your officers are already in the area while it runs. Kingfisher gives your RTCC the cellular layer, so your team can see that a false cell tower is operating and help send officers toward where it is.
Kingfisher is the portable detection unit. Each unit monitors the cellular environment, networks with other Kingfisher units and sends data to Kingfisher Watch.
Kingfisher Watch is the command platform. It provides live maps, heatmaps of cellular activity, a security operations center (SOC) dashboard, dispatch and multiple display options.
Kingfisher monitors cellular infrastructure, not individual phones.

Data Stays With the Agency
Kingfisher Watch and all collected data are on the agency's own systems, and the agency owns and controls it. Kingfisher units are remote sensors and do not store data.
For law enforcement, that means the agency controls how the data is stored and handled, which matters for evidence.
