More Fingers On The Jam Button?

Business Week by Dean Foust

October 23, 2006

A BATTLE is shaping up in a high-tech corner of the anti-terror world. A Coral Springs (Fla.) entrepreneur has sued the FCC, contending that the agency is wrongly invoking the Communications Act of 1934 to continue to prevent local authorities from buying the same jamming devices used by the military and feds to cripple remote-control bombs, some of which are triggered by mobile phones.




MOBILE PHONES Tones cause many groans

and are annoying as all heck. The Miami Herald by Roberto Santiago

...''mobile phones have evolved from being the No. 1 personal communication device to becoming the No. 1 personal rude device,'' said Melamed, who also writes about mobile phone industry trends. Melamed points out that mobile phones are now marketed as a personal extension of one's personality and tastes. ''The industry now urges consumers to select certain colors, designs, multimedia accessories, and a variety of ring tones,'' Melamed said.''

US company forms new relationships with the aid of U of Texas IC2 Institute

Coral Springs, Florida– AUGUST 7, 2006

CellAntenna Corporation, a leading provider of cellular communication solutions, has established a branch of its business in the Republic of Poland... CellAntenna was contacted by the IC2 Institute at The University of Texas at Austin, which had shared its expertise in promoting entrepreneurial activity and commercializing technology with the University of Lodz in Poland as part of an offset package associated with the $3.5 billion purchase of jet fighters by Poland from Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). The program was offered in cooperation with the Polish-American Management Center at the University of Lodz. The program quickly allowed CellAntenna to establish key business and technical relationships that has accelerated its expansion into Central and Eastern Europe through its branch in Poland.




Jamming Terrorists with Technology

Security Management By Marta Lawrence

June, 2006

Detonating an improvised explosive device using a remote trigger like a mobile phone or remote-controlled car is a fairly simple task. Preventing the bomb from exploding using localized jamming technology is an equally simple task, but currently first responders at the state and local levels are not given access to these types of technologies, says Howard Melamed, president and CEO of CellAntenna Corp, which distributes similar devices. “The local bomb squad…has nothing to prevent the device from going off,” says Melamed. The type of technology Melamed describes would jam the downlink of a mobile phone to a specific package. So, if a bomb were suspected in a backpack, as might have occurred if the bombs used by the London subway bombers had been detected before they were detonated, the jammer would interfere only with those signals going to the backpack. If police have not identified a suspicious package or if they suspect that more than one bomb could be present, the technology could also be used to jam larger areas, such as an entire building or a tunnel.

CellAntenna Challenges FCC on Mobile Phone Jammers in US District Court of South Florida

Company Argues a 1934 Ban on Jamming Equipment Impedes Ability of State and Local

Law Enforcement to Respond to Terrorist Attack

Coral Springs, April 5, 2006

CellAntenna Corporation, a leading provider of cellular communication solutions, announced today the filing of an action in the US District Court of the Southern District of Florida challenging a law enforced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to prohibit the use of cellular and radio frequency jamming equipment by state and local governments. CellAntenna argues that several sections of the Federal Communications Act (FCA) of 1934 violate the 14th amendment of the Constitution and conflict with both the public interest and the wishes of Congress. Additionally, the FCC rules put at risk the lives of first responders and the public in the event of a terrorist attack using a remote controlled improvised explosive device (RCIED).

Among other matters, the FCC adopts regulations which govern the interference potential of devices which are capable to emitting sufficient radio frequency energy to (d) Radio frequency devices for use by the Government of the United States or any agency thereof: Provided, however, that this exception shall not be applicable to any device after it has been disposed of by such Government or agency".




Theaters in a mobile phone jam

The Christian Science Monitor By Gloria Goodale

March 24, 2006

Companies that manufacture jamming equipment are also opposed, on similar grounds. "Jamming equipment should only be used by the government, such as the police and the bomb squads, not the general public," says Howard Melamed of CellAntenna, one such company. "Jamming is a weapon that should only be used against illegal activities." Mr. Melamed and others point out that there are less severe measures theater owners could take, such as paint that blocks signals and a new technology his own company will be offering by summertime, which he dubs "mobile calming" technology. It allows emergency calls to go through while stopping general-purpose calls without jamming the full spectrum of mobile calls. (Melamed is tight-lipped about the technology, saying only that it has a "patent pending.")
