Samsung Electronics announced a successful demonstration of its new drone-based antenna configuration measurement solution for 4G and 5G networks in the company's campus. The deep learning-based artificial intelligence solution instantly verified the rotation and tilt of the antennas, so that the engineers could determine if the antennas were installed correctly at predefined optimal angles.
High impact vulnerabilities in modern communication protocol used by mobile network operators can be exploited to intercept user data and carry out impersonation, fraud, and denial of service attacks, cautions a newly published research. The findings are part of a new Vulnerabilities in LTE and 5G Networks 2020 report published by London-based cybersecurity firm Positive Technologies last week.
Vulnerabilities in the GPRS Tunnelling Protocol expose 4G and 5G cellular networks to a variety of attacks, including denial-of-service, user impersonation, and fraud, Positive Technologies security researchers warn. Some of the attacks may be performed with the simple use of a mobile phone and all of the tested networks were found vulnerable to DoS, impersonation, and fraud, the researchers say.
