WhatA managed service combining hardware (modified SIM/eSIM), software, and operational protocols to make targeted individuals untraceable through telecom-layer surveillance.
SignalThe sophistication of these surveillance campaigns shows that standard consumer privacy tools are useless against telecom-level tracking — even new phones and SIMs can be re-identified through location correlation.
Why NowThe exposure of multiple commercial geo-intelligence providers selling tracking-as-a-service means the threat has democratized beyond nation-states to corporate espionage and stalking, dramatically expanding the population who needs protection.
MarketJournalists, dissidents, executives, diplomats, DV survivors; ~5M potential users globally willing to pay $50-200/mo. No real competitor offers telecom-layer protection — existing solutions (VPNs, encrypted messengers) don't address this vector.
MoatDeep telecom engineering expertise and carrier relationships required to understand and counter SS7/Diameter exploits create a high barrier to entry; trust and reputation with at-risk communities compound over time.
