Subscriber Access Manager
SAM helps identify and eliminate cloned radios
Most likely, cloned radios are consuming valuable airtime on your two-way communications network. Days and weeks may be spent tracking down the source.
- How many cloned radios exist on the system?
- Are hackers doing more than just eavesdropping?
- Who is stealing airtime?
SAM — Subscriber Access Manager, formerly known as CloneWatch — is a powerful enhancement for GenWatch3® and GW3-TRBO® (for MOTOTRBO® that identifies and helps eliminate the threat of cloned radios.
SAM monitors talkgroups and radios for suspicious activity. A suspect is a resource (radio ID or group) that breaks a predefined rule or expected behavior. Suspect resources are added to a list where the suspect’s activities are then displayed and recorded in detail.
When an activity (e.g., PTT, affiliation, etc.) is received on a group or radio ID — also known as resources — this activity is validated against the Resource Ranges defined within the SAM interface. If the activity of the resource violates the expected activity definitions, the resource is added to the Suspect List. Once in the Suspect List, the resource’s activity is closely monitored and detailed in the SAM database.
