Services of the system:
NETIMON is a Mediation Device assuring the connection between the network components of ICT service providers and the LEMF (Law Enforcement Monitoring Facility) of the LEA (Law Enforcement Agency). It is capable of the audio and data surveillance of PSTN and PLMN networks (CS – Circuit Switched and PS – Packet Switched network).
The principal features of NETIMON Mediation Device:
- Conceals the service provider’s network from the LEA.
- Provides a single channel access to the service provider’s subsystem.
- It is capable of simultaneously handling several LEAs. Supports rights management between LEAs. Super LEA function. (An appointed LEA can be granted access to the data of the others.)
- Multi level rights management.
- Advanced logging system.
- Continuous adaptive network component and intelligent load supervision in the background.
- The users can assign unique identifiers to the monitored data.
- Support of both FILE (FTP, SCP, SFTP), and STREAM (TCP, UDP) based communication.
- Standard HI interface.
- Easily replaceable X interface.
The operation of the system:
NETIMON Mediation Device is connected to the service provider’s network components through an X interface and through an HI interface to the monitoring centre. These connections are established through encrypted channels.
Both the X and the HI interface can be divided into three levels:
- Administration and management communicatin
- Interception Related Information (IRI)
- Content of Communication (CC)
After having accepted the provisioning commands through the LEA interface, the system performs the provisioning in the service provider’s network through the X interface, then the intercepted traffic is converted into HI format and conveyed to the relevant LEA. Data conversion between the interfaces is implemented by the system without losses.
The HI↔X conversion is provided by the NETIMON system. Mapping is unambiguous only in the case of conversions between X2→HI2 and X3→HI3, it is up to the NETIMON subsystem to decide whether X1→HI1 and/or a HI1→X1 mapping is necessary or not.
Besides HI1 interface providing automatic management, NETIMON also has a command line interface (CLI) for manual management of the system. In order to assure confidential data handling NETIMON stores the handled data only in the memory, and does not save it to HDD.
Unique competitive advantages:
- Single identifiers can be assigned to the captured data by the LEA.
- Asynchronous operation. (The HI and the X interface operate independently.)
- Inter-LEA authorization management, Super LEA function.
- Advanced adaptive network component supervision, intelligent load supervision.
System support:
Full service and maintenance support is provided for the product, including support over phone, on-the-site error recovery and version update.
