Illegal Cellphones Cost UK over $30k Annually for Storage
The BBC reported this week that the UK spends over $30,000 per year to store illegal cellphones confiscated in correctional facilities. Click here to read the article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19597010.
The phones, which are the newest form of contraband in prisons, are often found during raids. The fines of storing the phones, which are returned to the prisoners upon release, is left to the taxpayers. Several government officials are now calling for an end to the practice.

Illegal Cell Phones Used in Prison Guard Hostage Situation
In South Carolina, a prison guard was overtaken - but rescued - as the result of illegal inmate cell phones in the facility. Click here to read the article:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/sc-hostage-prison-guard-saved-inmates-contraband-cell/story?id=17238164#.UGA58O1vWy4
After a 5-hour standoff, inmates inside the maximum-security facility used their contraband cell phones to alert authorities that the guard was locked inside a closet within the prison. Following the guard's rescue, the prison performed a sweep to locate the illegal phones used to alert them to the guard's location.
The topic of contraband cell phones has escalated in recent months. In most cases, the illegal phones have been used to further the criminal activity of the inmates. CellAntenna, and its affiliate, CJAM, work with the prisons worldwide to detect, control, and jam contraband phones within correctional facilities.

Cell Phones on Planes and the FAA
There is much discussion surrounding the topic of Cell Phones on airplanes since Congress has asked the FAA to investigate the effects pertaining to cell phone use on planes.
Click here to read the article published by Politico.com.
The FAA has opened the debate for public opinion, and CellAntenna Corporation will be issuing our opinion.
CellAntenna formerly contested the assumption that cell phone use would interfere with a plane's overall functionality. If that were the case, cell phones would not be allowed on airplanes at all. Click here to read CellAntenna's opinion.
As we formulate our opinion about cell phone use via base station being permitted on aircraft, we will ask relevant questions with regard to the alternate ways in which phones could be used that do not suit the general public while flying.

CellAntenna Corporation Introduces CJAM-JDECK Surgical Jamming System
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 Corporation Response to TheVerge.com article Regarding Wi-Fi Blocking Wallpaper
CELLANTENNA RESPONSE TO TheVerge.com article: "Wi-Fi blocking wallpaper improves security without hampering cellphone coverage"
Our company, CellAntenna Corporation, executes engineered solutions to solve RF problems. Our CEO, Howard Melamed, is a Civil Engineer and an expert in the area of RF.
After reading this article, Mr. Melamed pointed out the following:
In our company's experience, RF shielding wallpaper is not a new idea, and is in line with RF resistant paint. These are interesting items, but they simply do not work - they are usually the equivalent to using aluminum foil wallpaper in terms of its ability to boost or block RF signal. The materials never block RF signal consistently. The consistency would indicate that there was an actual solution. These "quick fixes" do not.
In the past, we have incorporated wallpaper, fabric and paint to reinforce existing RF jamming and detection systems. None of these passive items are new, and none of them are truly useful by themselves against RF signal. To outfit a building to block RF is an extensive engineering task.
Radiowaves, especially those that exist in Microwave bands travel through small openings in doors, windows, ceiling tiles and duct work. They come out of electrical outlets, transfer outside of metallic conduits and radiate around window frames. Hence, the application of a simple passive material solution to a complicated problem is ineffective.
Our company has worked with the federal government and international institutions to safely and effectively implement jamming solutions. We are advocates for the legality of jamming by law enforcement to prevent the illegal use of cell phones by criminals.
This product gives the impression that boosting and blocking RF signals is cheap, fast and perfect. These three words cannot exist in the same sentence when it comes to passive jamming.

Cell Phone Jamming Needs To Be Legalized For Local And State Law Enforcement

Cell Phone Jamming Needs To Be Legalized For Local And State Law Enforcement
CEO of CellAntenna cites FCC data that concludes that jamming is not a menace
(May 8, 2012) New Orleans, LA - CEO of CellAntenna Corporation, Howard Melamed, announced today at the CTIA exhibition in New Orleans that cell phone jamming needs to be legalized for state and local law enforcement to prevent criminals from using cell phones for illegal purposes.
According to public data from the FCC (http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jammer-enforcement), there were only 20 incidences of illegal cell phone jamming enforced under the provisions of the 1934 Communications Act, which allows legal jamming only by the federal government. None of the FCC citations issued were against any law enforcement agency. CellAntenna contends that with so few occurrences, jamming appears to be a non-issue or the FCC would take a harsher stance on prosecution.
CellAntenna has urged Congress to introduce legislation that would allow limited use of cell phone jamming equipment by local and state law enforcement and more stringent penalties to members of the public caught illegally acquiring the equipment and using it. Jamming equipment is able to prevent the use of cell phones by criminals when police activities are ongoing, such as SWAT team operations, inside jails and prisons, and for local and state bomb disposal units.
“The need for cell phone jamming equipment by law enforcement greatly outweighs any threat of public misuse,” stated Melamed. “Only 20 incidents of jamming were found and prosecuted? With so few actual citations issued by the FCC for public misuse, there is no reason for the cell phone industry to be afraid of any misuse by local and state law enforcement agencies.”
CellAntenna Corporation has successfully implemented safe and controlled jamming solutions domestically and internationally, including at Cumberland Prison in Maryland as part of a federally sanctioned test by the NTIA.

Advocates Appeal to FCC to Keep Jamming Illegal by Law Enforcement - CellAntenna Disagrees.
Late last week, several groups appealed to the FCC to keep cell phone signal jamming illegal to all levels of government and law enforcement.
CellAntenna advocates legal jamming by law enforcement ONLY. Because the FCC is incapable of policing illegal cell phone jammers, local governments should be permitted to monitor for illegal jammers and punish those who are using the jammers illegally. In addition, police officers and SWAT teams should be permitted to jam cell signals when cell phones are being used to conduct criminal activity and endanger the general public.
