The system sold to Iran is able to archive and cross-check cell phone traffic, including text messaging. This is how they're able to spot important rebels.

I am really surprised. It is usually the French who sell such systems to dictators.

Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), a joint venture between the Finnish cell-phone giant Nokia and German powerhouse Siemens,...

Not the first time the German industrial giants opt to go where the money is.

Ovens, telecommunication equipment, what's the difference?

As for the Finns, I have no explanation. Certainly they should know better.

The Beijing Airport has voiceprint recognition.

So for instance, if a spy on your religious organization doesn't know who you are, but captures your voice at a church meeting, you will be flagged and captured if you talk to the customs officer.

I bet the systems the US government has and operates in the US are vastly superior at this task.

Nokia ans Siemens must be proud. I’m sure they’ll use it in their next ads.

“can help Iran target dissidents”.
___________________________________________________________

Why spend the money on this system when they can just look out the window? All the dissidents they can handle are right outside the door.

Not a problem if we or the Israelis can get the password to the backdoor.

Espoo, Finland, June 22, 2009
Recent media reports have speculated about Nokia Siemens Networks’ role in providing monitoring capability to Iran. Nokia Siemens Networks has provided Lawful Intercept capability solely for the monitoring of local voice calls in Iran. Nokia Siemens Networks has not provided any deep packet inspection, web censorship or Internet filtering capability to Iran.

Here is Siemens SSK (Iran) celebrating the grand opening of their state of the art training center in Iran providing training to staff and customers. Presumably, this is where the creme of the crop basiji or secret police might go. A place to learn the skills required to efficiently monitor and archive the private communications of their fellow countrymen {in the interest of future prosecution, torture and death}.

As Siemens SSK puts it: “The new building disposes in its classrooms of several facilities such as wireless LAN and telecommunication cabling, data projectors and accessories, 380V PDBs, suspended ceiling and anti-static raised floor.”

Oh look, what a nice day and fun time for all:

Currently in advertisements on Clear Channel Communications radio stations, Siemens is lauding their Green Lighting Division and Building Systems Division here in the United States. Extremely offensive given Siemens technology may soon be employed by the Regime to identify protestors. {Nobody will document their plight.}

Yes, the same stations that carry Rush, Hannity, and Levin.

If you have an issue with that, you might want to make a complaint to Clear Channel Communications and your local radio station.
