A virtual base transceiver station (VBTS) [5] is a device for identifying the temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) of a nearby GSM mobile phone and intercepting its calls, some are even advanced enough to detect the international mobile equipment identity (IMEI).
A StingRay can be used to identify and track a phone or other compatible cellular data device even while the device is not engaged in a call or accessing data services. [25] A Stingray closely resembles a portable cellphone tower. Typically, law enforcement officials place the Stingray in their vehicle with a compatible computer software.
The Fremont Police Department's use of a StingRay device is in a partnership with the Oakland Police Department and Alameda County District Attorney's Office. [1] End-to-end encryption such as Signal protects message and call traffic against StingRay devices using cryptographic strategies. [6] A typical cell tower mounted on electric lines.
Much of the info on stingray devices was provided by Rigmaiden himself, who looked for how authorities had discovered he was committing tax fraud.

In EDGE, a single RLC data block (ranging from 23 to 148 bytes of data) is transmitted over four frames, using a single time slot. On average, this requires 20 ms for one way transmission. Under the RTTI scheme, one data block is transmitted over two frames in two timeslots, reducing the latency of the air interface to 10 ms.
stage 1 specifications define the service requirements from the user point of view. stage 2 specifications define an architecture to support the service requirements. stage 3 specifications define an implementation of the architecture by specifying protocols in details. Test specifications are sometimes defined as stage 4, as they follow stage 3.
