Control Contraband Cell Phones with ShawnTech's Safety & Security Technology
ShawnTech is proud to be FCC-certified as a Contraband Interdiction System provider, dedicated to improving safety and combating contraband in correctional facilities. Recognizing the need for managed access technology before the unauthorized use of cell phones in prisons made headlines, ShawnTech has been at the forefront of innovation in this field.
In 2008, ShawnTech began developing cutting-edge technology to address the issue of contraband cell phone use. Collaborating closely with industry leaders in Corrections, we created solutions tailored to meet the unique challenges of correctional environments. Our relationships with the FCC and major carriers have further ensured compliance and effectiveness. As a testament to our expertise, ShawnTech is also the first Cell Intel/MAS
Comprehensive Solutions for Contraband Interdiction
ShawnTech offers a range of contraband interdiction solutions, including fixed managed access systems and our proprietary mobile managed access solution, Cell Intel™. These solutions provide flexibility to address a variety of facility needs, ensuring compliance with State, Federal, and FCC regulations.
In addition to our proprietary offerings, ShawnTech serves as an integrator of complementary products and services, such as drone detection and WiFi detection systems. By delivering a comprehensive suite of tools, we help correctional facilities stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain the highest safety standards.
Mobile Assessment
Cell Intel detects powered-on contraband mobile devices in a physical location within a facility and provides intelligence data. ShawnTech’s Cell Intel assessments catches unauthorized devices and prevents and logs outbound communication for unauthorized devices and releases communication for authorized devices.
Cell Intel was designed in collaboration with Correctional leaders and utilizes all the benefits of fixed managed access in a mobile application at a lower cost than fixed managed access systems.
Cell Intel works by utilizing covert mobile units that are temporarily installed to target a specific location in a facility. The units are designed to be used throughout the nation’s Corrections footprint. ShawnTech operates as a provider of service and operates mobile managed access technology. This prevents unauthorized communication from being released during an assessment and enables ShawnTech, where applicable by law, to provide intelligence from contraband devices without a court order. Intelligence includes phone numbers dialed, text message content, device identifiers.

Analysis
ShawnTech’s solutions are supported by comprehensive analytics that enhances contraband interdiction efforts within correctional facilities. Detailed call traffic analysis and network identification provide critical insights to help facilities manage and intercept contraband effectively.
Our analysts process the data collected from assessments, identifying unauthorized devices for shut-off through the FCC Qualified Request Program or C-DOS program. This data-driven approach ensures precise and efficient contraband management, helping correctional facilities stay ahead of emerging threats.
Following each assessment, detailed reports are provided. These reports include valuable data, such as:
- Hardware identifiers
- Pattern of life analysis
- Event trending analysis
