Geolocation Investigation Services
LATRO’s RF-Based Geolocation Services – part of LATRO’s advanced Bypass Shield portfolio of services – enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs), Regulators, and Law Enforcement to locate SIM Box and SMS Blaster operations, confiscate equipment, and arrest those involved in perpetrating the fraud.
DID YOU KNOW?
A key component to international voice bypass fraud (SIM Box fraud) is the device itself – typically a VoIP x GSM/UMTS/LTE gateway. These devices act as a mobile station on the CSP’s network and emit RF signals that can be tracked and located – using the right tools – with pinpoint precision. While commonly associated with international voice bypass fraud, there is an emerging trend of these devices being used to support other nefarious use-cases – including Vishing, Smishing, and A2P/OTP SMS Termination.

The risk of leaving SIM Boxes active on mobile networks leads to massive financial losses for the operators, and the government regulators through grey route traffic and a loss of quality of service.
The risk of not busting SMS Blasters can also allow attacks on mobile subscribers, including phishing, fake news, or private network communication by criminal organizations.
