This is a five-part webinar series, airing live on December 14, 21, 28 and January 4 and 11.  Your registration fee of $349 will enroll you in all five sessions; you do not need to register individually for the sessions.  If you wish to enroll in the series after one or more of the live sessions has already aired, you will receive links to the recordings of any sessions you missed.  The sessions are individual classes, and do not rely on previous sessions, so they can be viewed in any order without any detriment to the student.

In this webinar series the attendee will be introduced to the different types of cellular records available from the most popular wireless service providers in America. Each session will cover a different wireless network, and the specific types of data held by that network. Additionally the attendee will be supplied with search warrant language specific for each network and an example from each of the networks covered. Topics covered will range from Lucent® vs Nortel® towers, Operational vs Optimal Beam Width, Non typical tower sectors, First and Last cell sites, RTT / PCMD / NELOS, Burner apps, VOIP, as well as many other topics. In short this series will identify what is available on each network: retention periods, the wording needed to get it, and how to interpret the data.
