Report

Timing Advance and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems)

Timing Advance (TA) is a type of geolocation data provided by cellular networks. It is generally regarded as providing evidence of a target phone’s approximate distance from the serving cell tower when connections were made.

A previous report published by Forensic Analytics outlined some considerations related to Timing Advance in general; we’ve published a new paper which deals with TA as it relates to one specific deployment case, known as ‘outdoor DAS’.
