Vendors see profits in VoIP wiretap regulations

It would appear that not everybody in VoIP is complaining about the FCC VoIP service wiretap requirements:

Two software vendors have made their IP wiretapping tools for carriers and law-enforcement agencies work together.

Narus’ NarusInsight Intercept Suite for carriers has been fully tested for interoperability with Pen-Link’s Lincoln 2 data collection and reporting software for law enforcement, the companies will announce Tuesday.

The transition on carrier networks from circuit-switched phone calls to IP packet data services has turned the world of wiretapping upside down. With new laws requiring carriers to hand over information about subscribers’ e-mail and Web surfing, carriers and legal agencies need new tools that work with each other.

…The Narus and Pen-Link products are the first to comply with both the ETSI rules and the VoIP CALEA regulations as well as U.S. laws on collecting e-mail and Web data, the companies claim. Specifically, they fully comply with the CALEA T1.678 standard and the ETSI TS 102 232/233/234 standards.

The software is intended for probes, with warrants, of specific users’ traffic during specific periods, Bannerman said.
