NEWS L.A. Cellular deploys "Spy" technology to cut fraud

May 1, 1996 12:00 PM

Technology originally developed for signal intelligence applications is now being used in Southern California to help eradicate cellular pirating with Los Angeles Cellular Telephone Company's deployment of a state-of-the-art cellular fraud prevention system called PhonePrint.

Developed by Corsair Communications, Palo Alto, CA, PhonePrint uses defense conversion technology to spot a clone cellular phone call within a fraction of a second and disconnect the call. The technology is expected to reduce fraud by at least 75%, based in part on a test on L.A. Cellular's system.
