Tecore Pioneers First FCC Certified Cellular Interdiction System

Tecore Networks, a perennial innovator in cellular networking infrastructure and private network operations, reached a significant milestone in its efforts to combat the illegal use of contraband cellular devices in correctional facilities and other secured government environments. The company’s Managed Access System Evolved, known as the iNAC-E, is now the first fully certified system of its kind by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC announced in July 2021 and opened for application in May 2022, its Contraband Interdiction System (CIS) certification process,  establishing a regulatory standard by which Managed Access System operators may demonstrate to the world that their technology has been vetted and approved for reliable utilization in the highly controlled correctional facility environment. Now, with FCC certification to back it, Tecore’s managed access platform, iNAC-E, leads the way in reliability and enhanced contraband interdiction services. FCC certification enables trusted CIS operators to report contraband devices and subscriber data to designated corrections officials. These officials are empowered to evaluate the data and, where appropriate, request cellular service providers to disable service on contraband devices.
