Cellebrite Delivers First Physical Extraction Solution for Nokia BB5 Devices

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Latest Update to UFED Series Product Family Enhances Support for World Leading Mobile Handset Platform

Cellebrite, the leading provider of mobile forensic solutions world-wide, has today announced that it is the first and only company in the industry to enable physical extraction from locked and unlocked Nokia BB5 devices. Using Cellebrite's proprietary boot loaders, the Nokia BB5 physical extraction method is carried out via the UFED Ultimate and UFED Touch Ultimate. This capability is immediately available to new and existing customers with an active ultimate license.

According to an IDC report published in February 2012, Nokia is the leading mobile handset manufacturer in the world, with a market share of 27% and global sale shipments of more than 417 million in 2011.* As a result, investigators regularly encounter a vast quantity of Nokia devices, and must rapidly recover the existing, hidden and deleted evidentiary data inside. This data is invaluable for real-time responders and investigators seeking to gather the actionable evidence required to apprehend and successfully prosecute suspects.  

Cellebrite's range of mobile forensic products, UFED Series, allows investigators to gain rapid and comprehensive access to mobile data by providing the most technologically advanced tools for mobile forensic investigations.

"Cellebrite has once again successfully met the challenge of extracting physical data from mobile handsets belonging to one of the industry's biggest names." said Ron Serber, Co-CEO at Cellebrite Headquarters. "This industry breakthrough confirms Cellebrite's technological advantages in the industry and its position as market leaders."
