Is Your Cell Site Expert Suitably Qualified?

Footprint Investigations are proud to be the leading dedicated supplier of cell site analysis; it’s all we do, which is why we are “The Cell Site Experts”.

You can be assured that when you instruct Footprint Investigations to prepare your cell site report, then it will be created by our own team and presented by them at court. Access will always be made available directly to “your expert”.

Greg Robinson, Technical Director comments “It is our opinion that in relation to cell site analysis there is a significant abuse by others claiming to be “experts”. We believe an expert should have both experience within their field, as well as the appropriate qualifications. It is only from this background that court and case experience should be added”.

The credentials of our cell site experts are very important to us at Footprint Investigations. Below we have outlined the experience of our two senior cell site analysis experts.

Make sure your expert is a cell site specialist, as many may look experienced, but dig a little deeper and the fact is that they may spend most of the time conducting forensic analysis of mobile phones, or computers and have no background, and possibly very little experience of cell site analysis.
