CELLULAR STRUCTURE cellular telephone or cellular radio,telecommunications system in which a portable or mobile radio transmitter and receiver, or "telephone," is linked via radio frequencies to base transmitter and receiver stations that connect the user to a conventional telephone network. The geographic region served by a cellular system is subdivided into areas called cells. Each cell has a central base station and two sets of assigned transmission frequencies; one set is used by the base station, and the other by mobile telephones. To prevent radio interference, each cell uses frequencies different from those used by its surrounding cells, but cells sufficiently distant from each other can use the same frequencies. When a mobile telephone leaves one cell and enters another, the telephone call is transferred from one base station and set of transmission frequencies to the next using a computerized switching system. The first cellular telephone system began operation in Tokyo in 1979, and the first U.S. system began operation in 1983 in Chicago. A camera phone is a cellular phone that also has picture taking capabilities. Some camera phones have the capability to send these photos to another cellular phone or computer. Advances in digital technology and microelectronics has led to the inclusion of unrelated applications in cellular telephones, such as alarm clocks, calculators, and voice memos for recording short verbal reminders. In many countries with inadequate wire-based telephone networks, cellular telephone systems have provided a means of more quickly establishing a national telecommunications network. Cell phone forensics is not to be compared with traditional bit stream forensics. Cell phone data storage is proprietary, based on the manufacturer, model, and system. Cell Forensic's is designed to allow forensic acquisition of user entered data and portions of unallocated storage on some devices. It also performs a forensic acquisition on all data stored on GSM Sim Cards including deleted data. Each device is unique and should be dealt with caution as each phone has unique considerations. Continual advances will be made in reference to acquiring of proprietary data. We have been trained and performed numerous Examinations on Cellular Communication Devices in all formats.
