Agora – Network Metadata & Location Intelligence Platform

Agora is Intersec's foundational, cloud-native platform. It ingests and processes telecom network metadata on a large scale and uses over 40 geolocation techniques to turn raw signals into real-time intelligence for public safety, homeland security and telecom innovation.

Mobile networks are the world's largest sensor networks. Agora turns their signals into decisions.

Agora is Intersec's foundational cloud-native, vendor-neutral platform for telecom location and metadata intelligence. It continuously ingests the signals that phones and devices emit when connecting to a network — time, location, movement, cell attachment — and transforms billions of these metadata events per day into structured, real-time intelligence. No call or message content is ever accessed.

Agora is the engine behind the entire Intersec application suite. It can also be accessed directly by telecom operators and system integrators through APIs, enabling custom use cases across public safety, homeland security, and business innovation.

Platform capabilities

• Real-time processing of terabytes of telecom metadata — results delivered in milliseconds at national scale.
• 40+ geolocation techniques orchestrated in a single hybrid location engine: active (on-demand), passive (mass), GNSS, Wi-Fi, AML, cell-ID, timing advance, and more.
• Vendor-neutral and network-agnostic: works with any MNO infrastructure, any network generation from 2G to 5G.
• Cloud-native and hybrid deployment: adapts to on-premise, private cloud, or fully managed SaaS (Intersec Cloud).
• Privacy-by-design architecture: all processing is performed on anonymised or pseudonymised metadata; fully GDPR-compliant.
• API-centric design, CAMARA-ready.

Three domains of value: interoperable Triple-Use Technology to serve:

• Civil protection: Empowering public authorities to anticipate and respond to threats to public safety through reliable risk detection, real-time alerts, and integrated emergency communication systems.
• Homeland security: Supporting national security and law enforcement bodies with advanced intelligence capabilities designed to disrupt illicit networks, counter crime and terrorism, and uphold justice, always within the bounds of legal oversight.
• Business innovation: Enabling businesses and civilian sectors to harness the power of metadata intelligence and AI for new services that improve lives and drive responsible innovation.
