Comverse Infosys Announces STAR-GATE Enhancement For Monitoring Packet Data Networks biz.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday September 14, 8:11 am Eastern Time Press Release Comverse Infosys Announces STAR-GATE Enhancement For Monitoring Packet Data Networks STAR-GATE(TM) Product Line Offers Compliance With ETSI And CALEA Standards WOODBURY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2000-- Comverse Infosys, Inc. a subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc.(NASDAQ: CMVT - news) and a global leader in multimedia recording and monitoring systems for contact centers, public network providers, CRM and e-commerce, announced today that its STAR-GATE(TM) product has been enhanced to include monitoring of packet data networks in addition to wireline and wireless circuit switched networks. STAR-GATE's packet data feature set enables telecommunications service providers to monitor various call content and call data protocols and deliver the intercepted data to appropriate law enforcement agencies, all under the same STAR-GATE administration tools. STAR-GATE for packet data is specifically designed to accommodate legal monitoring delivery requirements for wireline packet data networks such as ATM and frame relay, and for mobile data networks such as GPRS for GSM, GPRS for TDMA, 1XRTT for CDMA, EDGE and UMTS. STAR-GATE integrates with any switch or network element allowing ease of installation and eliminating any product development from the switch manufacturers. ``Comverse Infosys has already integrated STAR-GATE for packet data with leading switch vendors in order to offer telecommunications service providers an effortless means of complying with international regulations,'' states Dan Bodner, President and CEO of Comverse Infosys. ``For the past several years, STAR-GATE has been very successful in monitoring circuit switched networks. Now, we have completed several field trials focusing on GPRS communications over packet data network and this places STAR-GATE at the leading edge of mobile switch technology.'' The STAR-GATE for packet data product includes two components: the packet data Mediation Device (MD) for the delivery functions of communication surveillance and the Surveillance Administration Subsystem (SAS) for provisioning in both circuit switched and packet data networks. STAR-GATE for packet data complies with all national and international regulations that govern communication monitoring such as ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) in Europe and CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act) in North America. Drawing upon Comverse Infosys' expertise and years of experience in the design of communication surveillance products, STAR-GATE offers an effective, reliable and cost-efficient solution to legal interception requirements.
