Description

Jacobs Technology is a provider of surveillance tools, including cell-site simulators (CSS), to law enforcement and intelligence agencies. These devices, often referred to as "Stingrays," allow authorities to intercept cell phone data and track locations covertly. Jacobs, which acquired the manufacturer KeyW in 2019, has deployed over 300 such simulators globally, including in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Jacobs' simulators are designed for covert use, often mounted in vehicles for mobile deployment. They support cellular and Wi-Fi data collection across 2G to 5G networks and are expandable for future capabilities.
