Tecore Delivers Legally Compliant Intelligent Jamming to U.S. Correctional Facilities

Published

IntelliJAM™ Featured at CLA 2025 Technology Conference; Backed by more than 20 Patents and Over a Decade of Proven Deployments

HANOVER, Md., March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tecore Networks, the inventor of managed access technology (MAS) and a leader in the combat of contraband cellphone use in correctional and secured facilities, is showcasing its advanced IntelliJAM™ platform at the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) 2025 Technology Conference, being held today in Charleston, SC. Attendees are invited to visit Booth 51 for demonstrations and discussions with the Tecore team.

With over a decade of operational deployment, IntelliJAM is the most comprehensive, legally compliant intelligent jamming technology in use today—delivering real-time signal control, selective access, E911 support, and advanced analytics in a single, integrated platform. Backed by over 20 patents, Tecore’s innovations are engineered to combat contraband cellphone threats while maintaining compliance and connectivity for authorized users.

The newly proposed Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2025—introduced by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN)—seeks to obtain authority for jamming. Such measures may face delays and resistance due to concerns around potential interference with public safety, impacts to nearby residential real-estate, commercial businesses, and broader liability risks. However, Tecore’s IntelliJAM is already industry compliant and engineered to support multiple jamming methods activated with a simple software configuration.

Unlike sweeping jamming approaches, IntelliJAM is precision-targeted to operate without affecting surrounding public coverage and is effective in both indoor and outdoor environments, including housing units and courtyards of correctional facilities.

“The technology since we first introduced this bill has increased greatly down to very precise targeting,” Senator Cotton stated in a recent press conference.

Congressman Kustoff added, “I think we can all agree that if people lawfully have a cellphone, they should be entitled and be able to use and get a signal. The programming with some technology is you can program lawful numbers from within a prison or a jail that can make or receive calls. But if there is a contraband cellphone, and obviously that number is not authorized, it doesn’t get a signal. So the technology has advanced a lot over the last several years. It will continue to advance and the fact that you can protect the innocent people, those who should be able to lawfully use cell phones and not harm them – to me makes this issue a no brainer.”

“Identify people who are in jails or prisons, guards other personal who lawfully have the right to be able use their phone, allow them to have access and essentially cancel out the contraband cell phones, that protects everyone,” Congressman Kustoff stated.

Key Capabilities of IntelliJAM Include:

Selective Access Management: Blocks contraband cellphones while maintaining secure access for staff, first responders, and designated users.Legally Compliant Intelligent Jamming: Localized, facility-contained signal control that preserves access for authorized personnel and emergency services.Legally Compliant E911 Functionality: Supports emergency call routing in accordance with current regulatory standards.Stakeholder-Aligned Interoperability: Designed in collaboration with all key wireless stakeholders for secure, authenticated device management and system integrity.Proven Deployment Across U.S. Correctional Facilities: In operation for over 15 years with consistent, complaint-based results.Patent-Driven Innovation: Backed by more than 20 patents specific to intelligent jamming, analytics, and lawful control protocols.Real-Time Intelligence and Analytics: Captures call patterns, text activity, locations, and behavioral insights to detect and investigate criminal activity.Software-Driven Flexibility: Easily configured to support “jam-all” strategies where legally authorized—without the need for infrastructure overhaul.

IntelliJAM unifies jamming control and actionable intelligence in one system—empowering facilities to not only block illicit cellular activity, but also to combat broader patterns of contraband use, gang coordination, and criminal activity through analytics-based intervention.

“Recognizing the unique security challenges correctional institutions face,” said Bipin Noble, Vice President of Business Development at Tecore Networks, “we designed IntelliJAM to deliver not only an immediate solution to contraband cellphone use but also a robust intelligence platform to combat threats proactively. Our system equips facilities with real-time insights while remaining flexible enough to integrate future policy changes without operational burden.”

Tecore Networks remains at the forefront of public safety innovation—committed to providing trusted, scalable, and compliant wireless control technologies for the nation’s most secure environments.

$50 million gift from Wayne State University alumnus, James Anderson, and his wife, Patricia, powers engineering excellence in Detroit

Published

on

By

DETROIT, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Wayne State University alumnus James A. Anderson (BSCE ’66, MSCE ’70) and his wife, Patricia, have made a $50 million gift to the university to accelerate research, entrepreneurship and student success in the College of Engineering. In recognition of this historic investment, the college will be renamed the James and Patricia Anderson College of Engineering.

It is the largest single gift in Wayne State’s 157-year history and represents a lead gift for the university’s upcoming comprehensive fundraising campaign, expected to launch in fall 2026.

This transformative gift will be focused on faculty support, including doctoral fellowships, undergraduate student experiences and a dean’s fund, which will empower the college to recruit more top faculty and Ph.D. students, driving faculty research in mobility, energy storage, AI and other rapidly growing fields. The gift will also strengthen student initiatives, creating a direct line between students and life-changing careers that drive economic growth and innovation, as reflected in the university’s Prosperity Agenda.

“With Jim and Patti’s passion for engineering and entrepreneurship, and their enduring commitment to Wayne State, it is fitting that the college will now be named for two of our greatest advocates,” said Dr. Kimberly Andrews Espy, Wayne State’s president. “We will build on more than a century of engineering talent that created a culture of innovation in our city, and the James and Patricia Anderson College of Engineering will be known as Detroit’s engineering school, setting a new standard of discovery and invention for generations.”

Jim Anderson is president and CEO of Urban Science, a leading automotive consultancy and technology firm headquartered in Detroit, with 20 offices around the world. His career began in 1967 as an instructor at the College of Engineering, where he developed environmental models and computer mapping techniques to display data – foundational elements of his firm’s business model aimed at creating cohesion and clarity for automakers and their dealers, and the AdTech firms that support them, in even the most ambiguous market conditions.

“Since my time as a student, and later a faculty member, at Wayne State University, I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of a quality STEM education in transforming lives, economies and communities,” said Jim Anderson. “My wife, Patricia, and I are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to expand our commitment to this renowned institution – a world-class training ground for Detroit’s next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. We’re confident this gift will continue to create new opportunities for high-paying STEM careers, foster innovation and drive progress in the Motor City and beyond, and we’re honored to work alongside WSU’s esteemed leadership to bring it to fruition.” 

In 2014, the Andersons established The James and Patricia Anderson Engineering Ventures Institute at WSU’s College of Engineering. The institute fosters a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among students and faculty envisioning commercial applications for new technology, securing patents and establishing startups while providing opportunities for students to learn best practices in applied research, technology commercialization and business creation.

“We are grateful for this gift, which arrives at a moment when our existing work meets innovation to create an unparalleled future opportunity,” said James and Patricia Anderson College of Engineering Dean Ali Abolmaali, Ph.D., P.E. “Jim and Patti recognize the huge leap this college can take. With their help, we will bridge knowledge and instruction with student success for generations to come. This remarkable gift will establish a dynamic hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in Anderson Engineering to serve Detroit, the state of Michigan and communities beyond.”
