Abstract
A system is described for controlling a mobile telecommunications device, in which the mobile device includes an enforcer which can be controlled by the telecommunications network. The telecommunications network signals the enforcer in order to gain control of the mobile device. The enforcer may be a hardware component within the mobile telecommunications device and in particular is coupled between the baseband and applications processors. The system allows a telecommunications network to gain control of a device in the event that the device is corrupted by rogue or malicious software and behaves in a way deleterious to the network.
