Flexible Options for Device Geolocation Hardware

The above chart depicts an example of purchase vs. HaaS expenses over time. When agencies purchase hardware, they will pay for the hardware upfront and then an annual service fee each year thereafter for the life of their contract. If an agency elects to use the HaaS option, they pay a flat fee annually for the life of their contract, for a minimum of five years.    
When device geolocation is a critical component of investigations, having access to the right tools is essential. Hardware as a Service (HaaS) solutions, like Drive Test Scanners and the Lima Cell Monitor, empower investigators with advanced capabilities to enhance geolocation analysis. These tools provide real-time insights into cellular tower locations, streamline data collection, and offer seamless integration with existing technology, enabling investigators to efficiently visualize key evidence and reduce time-sensitive challenges. 

HaaS is particularly advantageous for law enforcement because it reduces large upfront costs. Instead of committing to significant capital expenditures, agencies can access cutting-edge investigative tools through a lease option, spreading costs predictably over time. This model also provides unmatched scalability, allowing for easy adjustments to toolsets based on changing case demands. Furthermore, HaaS ensures flexibility as it evolves with the rapid pace of technological advancements, delivering ongoing access to updated tools without requiring constant reinvestment.  Obtaining hardware through a HaaS agreement reduces the need for an agency to track an expensive asset or go through a lengthy process to surplus the item. When the agreement term ends, agencies simply return the item to LexisNexis Risk Solutions. 
LexisNexis® Risk Solutions now offers Rohde & Schwarz Drive Test Scanners for purchase by government and law enforcement agencies. The Rohde & Schwarz R&S®TSMA6B Drive Test Scanner is an ultracompact scanner capable of measuring all bands and technologies simultaneously.  This is an essential tool for agencies investigating cases involving device geolocation.

Paired with their analysis platform, R&S®NESTOR, users can gain an overview of the available networks and their coverage in an investigation. R&S®NESTOR is also configured with Accurint® TraX™ allowing for fast and efficient interpretations of results from the Drive Test Scanner to be included into call detail record analysis and beyond.

LexisNexis® Risk Solutions now offers Lima Cell Monitors from Forensic Analytics to government and law enforcement agencies. The Forensic Analytics Lima Cell Monitor is a multi-SIM Radio Frequency (RF) survey solution capable of continuously measuring 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks and Wi-Fi simultaneously. This is a key investigative tool for cases involving device geolocation. Lima also passively scans 2.4 & 5.0GHz Wi-Fi Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) all whilst logging GPS position against the radio readings. 

Lima Cell Monitor allows locking to all cellular network operators, all technologies and all bands. Dial out function demonstrates connected test calls, and a data heartbeat ping test achieves the same result for data connectivity. A frequency sweep on all channels reads information on the active frequencies producing a single pass snapshot of the RF environment in GSM, UMTS and LTE, typically returned within 90 seconds. The survey results are offloaded either by using a Wi-Fi offload to a friendly Wi-Fi network or by download from a USB port on the bulkhead for onward mapping and analysis.
