Cellebrite is a continuing line, not a new vendor, in the cascade-research comparison (a vendor-keyword pull). This entry exists because the identifier was missing from the timeline, not because the size is unusual. The description names digital forensic capabilities in general and does not say which devices or seizures the tools are used on.
