sorry I gotta say this...deja'vu

It presents itself as a genuine basestation that does not support encryption. Mobile phones will always connect to the basestation that has the highest power to save battery. When the victim leaves the range of the fake basestation it is handed over to the real network seamlessly.
What I don't get is how he managed to get the intercepted data back on to the network fibre.

so does this bypass the encryption somehow by faking a cell ? joining the cell routing ? or is the 1500$ used for calculations ?

im confused
