Description

Octasic, a Canadian company, is a developer of wireless communication technologies, including surveillance solutions such as IMSI catchers. These devices, often referred to as "Stingrays," are capable of intercepting mobile phone signals and tracking user locations by masquerading as legitimate cell towers. Octasic's Nyxcell V800 targets multiple frequency bands, including GSM (2G), CDMA2000 (3G), and LTE (4G), enabling comprehensive surveillance capabilities. In 2019, sold IMSI catchers to the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in Bangladesh. Octasic's CEO, Sebastien Leblanc, confirmed that the Canadian government approved the export of these surveillance technologies to Bangladesh. Octasic's involvement in the IMSI catcher market has expanded internationally, with the company exporting its surveillance tools to Europe via Cyprus. The company operates a research and development center in Bangalore, India, and has a sales office in Japan.
