Coral Springs, FL – CellAntenna Corporation, experts in combating cell phone threats, has introduced its latest product, the CJAM-JDECK Low-Jamming System, for use by customs and immigration departments worldwide to fight illegal activities conducted via cell phones.
The CJAM-JDECK is a low-level jammer that is installed under-the-counter for use in customs and immigration departments. The jammer is designed to prevent illegal cell phone activity in lines at the airport at customs and immigration points where cell phones are prohibited. As lengthy lines, illegal immigrants, substances and contraband have become increasingly problematic for customs and immigration officials, CellAntenna has created a product solution.
“Illegal use of cell phones has become an increasing pandemic,” stated CellAntenna Corporation CEO, Howard Melamed. “The challenge that our customs and immigrations officials face is the amount of time required to enforce prohibited cell phone use.”
CellAntenna’s solution is surgically placed in the area so that it is capable of blocking calls and text messages by those being processed in customs and immigrations, but allows communication by employees and law enforcement. The system remains idle through a low-power RF signature that affects only cell phones in the immediate area without affecting law enforcement communication. The jammer only powers on when cell phone use is detected by a text or call being made or received. The unit is easy and adjustable and is able to notify an agent of prohibted use and the agent is able to immediately jam the cell signal. The unit has three capabilities: detect-only, detect-jam (jams only when call/text in progress), or full-jam, depending on varying scenarios.
CellAntenna’s proven systems are currently used by U.S. Federal governments and agencies, as well as international customers where jamming is legal. Cell phone jamming is prohibited for general use in the United States as a result of the 1934 Communications act, which prohibits interference with RF signal.
CellAntenna Corporation offers a complete portfolio of cell phone detection, control and jamming solutions in order to solve cell phone threat management scenarios worldwide.
CellAntenna delivers systems integration with customized solutions according to varying technologies and price-points.

CellAntenna CEO Featured in Wired Magazine
On paper, it’s a no-brainer: Prisoners have mobile phones they are using to run gangs, call friends, and intimidate witnesses. Tech companies have the equipment to jam the phones by flooding the airwaves, and prisons want to use them. But the 1930s law setting up the nation’s telecommunications bureaucracy makes such jamming illegal.
That drives Howard Melamed, the CEO of CellAntenna, crazy. Witnesses are dying and gangs are flourishing because Congress has yet to put the Safe Prison’s Act bill on President Obama’s desk, Melamed argues. His company, which mostly sells tech to expand cell coverage inside buildings, also does some business in jammers. And over the last seven years, he’s become one of the most public faces of the campaign to rid prisons of rogue cell phones.

“Criminals behind bars are doing what they do best which is break the law,” Melamed said. “People are being killed by criminals using cell phones in prisons to arrange hits on witnesses.”

Public Safety – Emergency Services and the Need for Signal Enhancement Inside Buildings
Welcome to your Wireless World for April 1, 2009…

Communication is essential for Public Safety organizations to perform their responsibilities. The biggest problem is that most buildings of concrete or steel design resist the ability for radio frequencies to penetrate into occupied areas which are often in the center of the buildings. Not only are cell phone signals affected, but the fire and police radios as well. This means that in case of an emergency when police or fire department personnel are dispatched to perform a rescue, all too often are their radios are ineffective. This results in dangerous conditions for the officers fireman and the people that they are trying to rescue. Communication is Number 1 when it comes to public safety and without communication we are helpless. That is why some municipalities are incorporating into their city by-laws the requirement for new building construction to have adequate signal levels for police and fire department communication. The only way to boost the signal levels is to use repeaters such as the CellAntenna CAE-500 and 600 series made for Public Safety. For deep penetration below the surface into the parking garages, we can even deploy Fiber Optical Repeaters using our MOFORSAS system. CellAntenna also recognizes the need for emergency vehicles to have portable equipment and that is why we have been selling the CAE750 battery operated repeater to FEMA and to numerous police and fire departments across the country using the GSA Schedule. CellAntenna will help any city organization to develop criteria to place into their building codes in order to make buildings safe and secure for public safety agencies and the public.
