Diplomas: Mobile Telephone Evidence (MTEdipl)

Diplomas: Mobile Telephone Evidence (MTEdipl)
.
The Diplomas provide individuals with a path to recognition for demonstrating development of students knowledge, skill and experience for those involved in mobile telephone examination and evidence or for anyone interested in this field of distinction.
.
Empowering students to have confidence in themselves, their knowledge and skills, is one feature in the Diploma modules. Another feature is the Diplomas can have value-added benefits for employers. Each Diploma carries a requirement that the student MUST present as part of their assignment a tested practice and procedure plan and be able to offer a possible solution to potential employers for practices and procedures for dealing with mobile phone evidence along with other enhancement value-added benefits, such as market potentials for future planning options that may benefit an employer.
.
The Diplomas are recognised by the Mobile Telephone Examination Board, fully backed with my experience over two decades in forensics and evidence and additional guidance and support from other experienced examiners in the field and identified materials from academics and experts in mobile telephony. The Diplomas enable students to organise their own time and work, without pressure, to study, complete and produce assignments for each Diploma module undertaken.
.

Orange and Vodka - mixing mobile networks

Orange and Vodka - mixing mobile networks
(shaken, not stirred)
.

Good title for a book or article that heading. I thought this would be a useful post regarding the unusual occurrence of roaming onto a forbidden UK network from the home UK network.These screenshots record an event that happened on my wireless broadband. In the area I was located at the time Orange provided GPRS at 56K but download rates of under 6.5kbps (no 3G) - so not very good at all.
.

.
Such a matter like this may have an influence, if understood that it may occur, on any post-obtained radio test measurements after an alleged crime, or may even taint what may be considered a flawless opinion or conclusion, that is when conducting cell site analysis (CSA) investigations for evidential purposes.
.

.
It is not the fact that post-obtained radio test measurements failed to replicate an earlier event, it is the fact that a 'possibility' that may need to be explored to provide a more rounded opinion or conclusion in a report and at Court maybe missed or overlooked.

.

There are answers to the above conundrum but this is not the point of this post, which has been to highlight a technical event that might impact on evidence.
