Most 5G networks that have been rolled out to date use a 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) architecture, which relies on existing 4G LTE network infrastructure as the backbone. However, an increasing number of networks are using 5G SA (Standalone) architecture, meaning they are built on a completely new core network and offer the full potential of 5G. 5G SA is a new cellular technology which uses high speed bands, and introduces new protocols and encrypted subscriber identifiers. This creates new challenges for the network intelligence solutions which law enforcement organizations rely on to enable the lawful interception of suspects, in accordance with warrants or court orders. It also creates challenges for operational intelligence solutions used by tactical teams in field missions. Europol has stated that 5G SA technology will "complicate the use of the unique mobile phone card identifiers that allow law enforcement to identify and locate devices," thus making it more difficult to carry out legally permissible investigations of suspected criminals. Europol states that without 5G-ready solutions "one of the most important tactical operational and investigation tools would therefore become obsolete," providing a potential boon for criminals who want to evade detection and hide their illicit activities 16 .
