ELSAG Integrated Signal Intelligence Platform

An Integrated Signal Intelligence System

Develop Leads From Consumer Electronic Devices

ELSAG SignalTrace is a groundbreaking software system for law enforcement, designed to identify groups of consumer electronic devices that routinely travel together, even when a license plate number is not known. This system integrates seamlessly with the ELSAG Enterprise Operations Center, our highly advanced data management and analysis software.

Electronic devices such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, RFID tags and mobile phones emit signals into the air. SignalTrace creates an electronic fingerprint for groups of the signals that the system determines are frequently emitted together. These electronic fingerprints provide insights law enforcement can use in real-time policing and investigations.

ELSAG SignalTrace (formerly EOC Plus) : Product Features

Identifies the movements of electronic devices and vehicles
Stores data on the SignalTrace server where it can be queried and analyzed to aid investigations
Respects individuals’ privacy rights (does not decrypt or read content from devices)
Allows law enforcement to recognize a specific vehicle included in an electronic signature, without the license plate number
Reveals signatures frequently traveling together, which can lead to the discovery of convoys and other movement and travel patterns
SignalTrace is effective in off-road areas such as in subways and malls
Performs with or without license plate readers at every collection site, allowing for a wider coverage area while keeping deployment costs down

How it works

As the devices emit signals, SignalTrace sites capture and correlate them together, along with LPR data if present. The data collected shows what group of devices are travelling together. Algorithms can determine which specific mix of devices are predictably moving together. That specific mix of devices—linked by common time stamps and locations—are described as an electronic fingerprint and can help develop leads that aid investigations.

For example: while 70 cars in 100 may contain iPhones, only one will have an iPhone 13rev2, an Audi radio, a pair of Bose headphones, a Garmin sports watch, a key finder, and the license plate ABC-1234. The collection of data represented by these specific things is an electronic signature.

Technology that Respects the Rights of Individuals

ELSAG SignalTrace was designed to ensure it does not infringe on the rights of individuals. It captures device signals but does not decrypt or read the contents of the devices or their communications. In the same way, license plate readers capture plate numbers from vehicles, not driver information.

The SignalTrace system simply stores data until a specific request is made of the system by an investigator. It allows an electronic signature to be alerted on once it has been identified in the process of an investigation, and only in a case where a crime occurred.
