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.

CA Wireless and CJAM.com, subsidiaries of CellAntenna Corporation, work with prisons worldwide to combat illegal cellphones.  Through detection, managed access, and jamming, prison officials are able to control communication by inmates.  Visit CJAM.com to learn more about solutions for correctional facilities.

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.  Visit CJAM.com for more information about our solutions.

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.
