Verint Systems Inc., a leading provider of analytic software-based solutions for security and business intelligence, today announced the introduction of STAR-GATE Lite, a new solution designed to help rural and other smaller broadband and VoIP service providers effectively comply with CALEA lawful interception regulations. This introduction follows the FCC's clarification last year that CALEA regulations would apply to all facilities-based broadband and VoIP service providers, regardless of size.
"Since the FCC's clarification of CALEA, we have seen interest from both large and smaller broadband and VoIP service providers that are seeking to comply with this regulation for the first time. Our new STAR-GATE Lite solution is a based on the advanced technology of our Tier 1 service provider STAR-GATE solution, but designed to cost-effectively meet the requirements of smaller service providers,"Â said Dan Bodner, President and CEO, Verint Systems Inc.
The Verint STAR-GATE portfolio consists of a full range of circuit-switched and packet data lawful interception solutions developed through extensive experience working with Tier One service providers around the world. STAR-GATE Lite, the newest solution in this portfolio, enables smaller service providers to lawfully intercept, administer and deliver targeted communications originating from VoIP and broadband networks. With STAR-GATE Lite, operators can easily define targets, collect intercepted data from their networks and convert this data into the required CALEA format for delivery to government or law enforcement agencies. Simple to operate, STAR-GATE Lite enables operators to focus on their core business and is designed to be implemented without significant increases in personnel, training, and setup costs.
Bodner continues, "As a leader in this market, we are committed to helping service providers around the world reduce the complexity of complying with local lawful interception regulations and facilitate the delivery of communications to law enforcement and government agencies"Â - Verint.
