Prerequisite: An understanding of Microsoft Excel is preferable for course attendance. A knowledge of Excel spreadsheet functions to include the following aids in successful class participation: Freeze, Sort, Find/Replace, Insert, Formulas (Left, Right, Concatenate), and Pivot tables

The CAST Basic Historical Cell Site Analysis Course is designed to be an introduction to basic cellular analysis and geospatial mapping.* The class provides instruction on the basic principles of cellular networks, how call detail records provided by the major cellular providers are created, how to read and understand call detail records, and how to utilize call detail records in law enforcement investigations to illustrate a cellular phone’s general location.

At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Understand the basic principles and concepts of a cellular network and how a cellular device
connects with a cell tower
2. Interpret and analyze the call detail records obtained from the major cellular providers
(AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon)
3. Use mapping software (CASTViz) to accurately depict the general location of a cellular device
at the time it connected to the cellular network
4. Understand the capabilities and limitations of cellular record analysis
5.  Interpret and analyze tower dump records from all major cellular providers
6.  Be familiar with the resources available through CAST


*The Basic Historical Cell Site Analysis Course does not provide the requisite knowledge or experience to qualify students as experts in historical call detail record analysis. The course is designed to provide a foundation for understanding the records.
