Secure Communication

Networks are being used in new ways: user expect excellent connectivity everywhere, all the time. MPLS technology can provide this, but standard Internet lines are often sufficient and less expensive. In addition, companies are increasingly using public cloud computing, which means network data is increasingly being transmitted over the public Internet. To cut costs, traffic offloading solutions are an increasing focus. These solutions make it possible to use free capacities from Internet backup bandwidth in regular operations. A secure Internet link is configured as an additional, permanent transmission channel and used for applications with lower communications demands, for backup cases and to smooth peak loads. This enables the cost-optimized utilization of existing resources. Therefore, we will see the increasing deployment of hybrid networks in future, consisting of MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) and Internet VPN. The rapid growth of data traffic is putting an increasing strain on conventional networks. The Cisco Visual Networking Index™ predicts that IP traffic will double between 2016 and 2019. This means annual, global IP traffic will pass the two zettabyte mark by 2019. Factors in this growth include desktop videoconferencing, IP telephony and the increasing popularity of HD video. Companies want to give their employees access to these modern communication resources, of course, but these high-bandwidth apps put a heavy load on the IP VPN infrastructure, hindering access to mission-critical applications.

GPS MONITORING AND TRACKING

GPS loggers log the position of the device at regular intervals in its internal memory. GPS loggers may have either a memory card slot, or internal flash memory card and a USB port. Some act as a USB flash drive, which allows downloading of the track log data for further computer analysis. The track list or point of interest list may be in GPX, KML, NMEA or other format. Most digital cameras save the time a photo was taken. Provided the camera clock is reasonably accurate or used GPS as its time source, this time can be correlated with GPS log data, to provide an accurate location. This can be added to the Exif metadata in the picture file. Cameras with a GPS receiver built in can directly produce such a geotagged photograph. In some private investigation cases, data loggers are used to keep track of a target vehicle. The private investigator need not follow the target too closely, and always has a backup source of data.

LAWFUL COMMUNICATION INTERCEPTION

MTC is partnered with T-Secure who have been pioneering solutions for lawfully locating, intercepting, monitoring, and analyzing criminal communications and network activity. As a company with a unique, 100% focus on cyber intelligence, MTC’s mission is to greatly increase LEA success and minimize their level of risk, while providing CSPs cost-effective and operationally efficient solutions that coincide with their network transformation objectives. Customer-centric platforms are standards-based, following ETSI, CALEA, 3GPP, ATIS, as well as compliance for many national variants.
