Portable IMSI Catcher (IMSI-P40)
INTRODUCTION
Hocell Portable IMSI Catcher IMSI-P40 is a backpack cellular signal intelligence solution which can search, track and locate cell phones by identifying their IMSI (Individual Mobile Subscriber Identity) numbers. It can also act as an intelligent cell phone jammer, allowing authorized mobile terminals and preventing unauthorized ones to access to public mobile networks.
The system is designed to operate on major sub-6GHz cellular bands within a country, supporting network protocols including 2G, 3G, LTE FDD, LTE TDD and 5G NSA. With multiple radios and bands, the system could simultaneously detect mobile terminals of 7 networks from different service providers, making the interrogation process highly efficient. The RF power of each radio is up to 4W, and the system’s detection distance could be up to 300 meters in open space. Because of the all-in-one integrated design and lightweight, the system is very convenient for portable operation with a backpack.
KEY FACTS
1. Portable IMSI catcher with built-in directional antenna for direction finding.
2. Support network standards 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G NSA, FDD and TDD.
3. Highly efficient interrogation with up to 7 radio channels simultaneously; RF power up to 4W/channel.
4. Data collection of 8,000 terminals /minute, detection range up to 300 meters in open space.
5. Easy switch between detection mode (search & locate) and control mode (intelligent jamming).
6. Automatic frequency scanning and configuration to facilitate user operation.
7. Detected mobile phones could be sorted on APP by their signal strength, clearly showing their proximity. Positioning accuracy <1m.
8. With battery life of up to 90mins and replaceable battery to support longer operation time. Remaining battery power and endurance is displayed on software.

12. All data is recorded and saved locally, and can be exported and shared as needed.
13. Data analysis can be performed locally or on a remote management platform to identify connections between locations and the movements of one or more targets.
APPLICATION SCENARIOS
A. Law Enforcement Surveillance
The portable IMSI Catcher can help law enforcement officers track cell phones and locate suspects. With high positioning accuracy, the system can guide the officers to the exact building, floor, room and identify the suspects. It can also provide real time indications upon repeated identification from multiple sessions, exchange of SIM card or mobile terminal. The system is applicable to law enforcement agencies and security departments such as police, military and border patrol.
B. Search and Rescue
Search and locate missing persons efficiently, whether they are buried underground, trapped in a building, lost in a forest, or disappeared in a mountain. Not only visible, but also invisible targets could be detected. The searching result shows the presence, number and location of the targets, which could support the subsequent decision and action on disaster evacuation, post-disaster assessment, emergency rescue, etc.
The system is applicable to government agencies of emergency management such as earthquake and fire departments, office of civil defense, search and rescue association, or other SAR units.
C. Intelligent Cell Phone Jammer
While mobile terminals and mobile internet are used everywhere, confidentiality is posing a greater challenge for many government agencies, police, military, court, prison or confidential areas in business organization. The system can detect mobile terminals of all telecom operators and obtain the IMSI information, and then control the network access of different terminals according to the predefined policy. The whitelist terminals may use their network service normally, whereas the blacklist or non-whitelist ones are jammed from the networks.
D. Telecom Fraud Detection
Telecom fraud refers to the crime of fabricating false information, setting up a scam, carrying out remote and contactless fraud on the victim, inducing the victim to pay or transfer money through telephone, network and SMS, usually by impersonating others and faking and forging various legal clothes and forms to achieve the purpose of deception. The portable IMSI Catcher can help to search the SIM card devices that are used for telecom fraud and locate the exact position so as to crack down such crime.
