IP Fabrics Surveillance System Selected by Tohono O'odham Utility Authority

 

DeepSweep™ for CALEA system provides "safe harbor" to meet FCC requirements 

Beaverton, OR – June 19, 2007 - IP Fabrics, Inc. announced today that Tohono O'odham Utility Authority (TOUA) of Sells, AZ has selected the DeepSweep for CALEA system to provide CALEA compliance.  IP Fabrics, Inc. was chosen out of a field of multiple competitors due to the system’s cost effectiveness and compliance with the FCC’s T1.IAS industry standard. Service providers using ATIS T1.IAS have safe harbor by complying with the FCC’s CALEA capability requirements. These requirements pertain to the lawful interception for Internet access and services (IAS).

“I was very impressed with the DeepSweep CALEA interface and how simple it is to execute a court order intercept,” stated Sean Hawley, network administrator for Tohono O'odham Utility Authority.

“I was also impressed with the additional network surveillance capabilities

of the DeepSweep system. This will allow us to monitor network performance and troubleshoot network problems.”

The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) was originally enacted in 1994, to preserve law enforcement's ability to conduct lawfully-authorized surveillance while preserving public safety, the public's right to privacy, and the telecommunications industry's competitiveness. It was recently extended to include Broadband Internet Access Services and VoIP Services in order to assist law enforcement agencies to execute authorized surveillance of digital communications.

The IP Fabrics’ DeepSweep™ for CALEA is the first self-contained network surveillance system that provides with Broadband and VoIP CALEA compliance.  Ideal for small and medium-sized ISP and VoIP networks, a single DeepSweep system functions as the complete CALEA compliance solution, providing the probe, mediation/delivery, and administration functions, which are commonly implemented as separate devices.
