Cellebrite supports all the major technologies (DMA, CDMA, GSM, IDEN) including, Smartphone operating systems and PDAs (Apple iPhone, Blackberry, Google, Android, Microsoft Mobile, Palm and Symbian) for over 95% of all handset models worldwide. The system also handles and source codes from the cell phone manufacturers six months prior to retail launch which is a major advantage for research and development. There is no product similar to this product, and Cellebrite USA, Corporation is the sole developer and provider of the UFED Touch 2 forensic system, and does not sell to any first source, GSA, or other resellers.
