shutterstock_77165374 You may be surprised at how few cases many cell site analysis ‘experts’ have actually conducted. The main reason being that cell site analysis is not their ‘day job’. Many companies offering this expert discipline do not actually have an in house expert. By this we mean a person who has previously been employed by one of the mobile phone network providers, usually in a planning and optimisation role.

Check the CV of your cell site analysis expert and you may well find that their qualifications lie in the field of computer or mobile phone forensics. There is no crossover between the field of cell site analysis and that of any other discipline. This is a highly complex and specialised type of work and as an expert is entitled to give evidence of opinion, rather than just that of fact then it should make sense that you would use someone with a working background in that particular field.

You may not be aware that cell site analysis is currently an unregulated area of digital forensics and that means that anyone can claim to be an expert. The qualified, experienced experts will normally undertake prosecution as well as defence work and will normally have given evidence many times.

Our cell site experts do not conduct any other type of work, this is all they do, day in day out. Our experts have previously been employed by network operators as you can see by exerts from their CV’s below;
