The San Francisco Bay Area, colloquially known as the Bay Area or The Bay will deploy CTS's Blackbird Platform(TM) and PreTect(TM) fraud prevention software application in its San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden market. Cellular One in the Greater Bay Area is now part of the growing list of "A Band" cellular carriers deploying CTS's radio frequency "fingerprinting" technology to attack cloning fraud before it happens," said CTS President Bob Dahut. "With AirTouch Cellular ("AirTouch") and Bell Atlantic NYNEX NYNEX New York-New England & X for the Unknown (Telephone Company) NYNEX New York Network Exchange Mobile signing agreements in the past two months, CTS is fast becoming the premier vendor of wireless fraud prevention systems." Cellular One's decision to install CTS's products is the beginning of an "A Band" West Coast "Roaming Corridor" protected by the Blackbird Platform and PreTect. It follows the recent signing of a letter of intent between CTS and Authentix Network, Inc. to form a strategic alliance to strengthen the wireless industry's arsenal in combating roaming cloning fraud. The proposed alliance will help resolve the interoperability issue between different radio frequency ("RF") based fraud prevention systems by enabling the home carrier to maintain control over its customers' phone and serial number identities when customers roam, regardless of which RF system the serving carrier has installed to fight fraud. Dahut explained that the Blackbird Platform and PreTect application create a safe haven 1. Designated area(s) to which noncombatants of the United States Government's responsibility and commercial vehicles and materiel may be evacuated during a domestic or other valid emergency. 2. for Cellular One customers by building an invisible protective shield around its network, thus fencing out cellular criminals. PreTect uses patented signal processing See DSP. or radio frequency "fingerprinting" technology to accurately distinguish between legitimate customers and counterfeit users on a pre-call basis. The system captures information from the cellular phone call at the cell site, before it enters the service provider's system, and compares it to valid data. PreTect can then automatically intercept and shut down a call if a proper match is not made. As an additional layer of protection, CTS offers its real-time roaming service, which provides seamless real-time roaming protection between markets using the Blackbird Platform and PreTect application. Cellular One is the leading cellular service provider and the exclusive provider of digital service in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. It is a partnership of two companies: AT&T Wireless Services, Kirkland, WA and AirTouch Communication, San Francisco, CA. CTS is the exclusive provider of radio frequency technology to combat cellular fraud for AirTouch Cellular and its affiliates. As previously announced, AirTouch has committed to purchase these CTS products for at least 1,000 cell sites. CTS develops, markets, and supports real-time information management systems for the wireless communications industry. The Company's integrated data management platforms and software applications enable wireless communications service providers to more rapidly and cost-effectively grow their businesses.
