The Investigator is delighted to host this workshop that will cover contemporary issues, challenges and best practice around cell site analysis.

 

It is aimed at investigators and analysts who work in a role that involves carrying out cell site analysis activity and analysing Call Data Records (CDRs).

 

It will be led by Darran Fletcher, one of the UK’s leading authorities and subject matter experts in cell site analysis and forensic radio surveying.

 

He has 35 years’ experience in digital media investigations for both law enforcement and the private sector. He is now a consultant in digital forensics and conducts training in the UK and internationally.

 

The workshop will include the following sessions:

Forensic Science Regulator Code of Practice and Cell Site analysis

  • The workshop will provide an update on the implications of the Forensic Science Regular Code of Practice in relation to cell site analysis.

 

  • The Code will be enforced from October 2025 and we’ll provide an outline about how the code will impact and change ways of working for investigators and analysis.

 

Challenges around presenting cell site evidence in court – opinion v fact

  • Common pitfalls and misunderstanding about presenting opinion v fact in court and the differences between the two.

 

  • We’ll include best practice for investigators and analysts who are required to give evidence around cell site evidence in court

 

Cell sleep technology

  • An overview of the meaning on cell sleep technology, which networks are using it and the impact it will have on cell site analysis activity

 

Latest position around 5G and its impact on cell site analysis and Call Detail Records

  • What does 5G offer for mobile devices and how will it impact investigations?

 

  • What should you look out for in call detail records?

 

  • We'll also have a look at what mmWave means and its impact on cell site analysis and investigations.

 

Latest position on 2/3G sunsetting and its impact on cell site analysis and Call Detail Records

  • Much of the 3G has now gone around the UK but it is variable region by region and it is changing all the time.

 

  • 2G will be next and we’ll look at how this is affecting investigations, and the challenges investigators and analysts have experienced

 

  • We'll also discuss how you might mitigate the impact of these planned changes.

 

A consideration of the difference between Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) in relation to cell site analysis and Call Detail Records

  • Most of the public (and by extension, juries) think 5G on their phones means the work is done and they've just got a bit more speed to watch videos on their phones, but we will look at why that's only half the story.

 

  • What is the difference between standalone and non-standalone and how will it impact cell site activity?
