CALEA Compliance for Packet Equipment, And Equipment for

All facilities-based broadband Internet access providers and
providers of interconnected VoIP service must ensure that
their services comply with CALEA upon launch. In the May 12,
2006 Commission order, the Commission found that section
107(c)(1) may not be used by entities seeking extensions for
equipment, facilities, and services deployed on or after
October 25, 1998 (the effective date of the CALEA section 103
and 105 requirements).</div>
</div>
<div>I believe you aren't subject to CALEA unless you're a
facilities-based CLEC/ILEC. I am not a lawyer, this is not legal
advice, but I don't think this applies to you. (Someone please
correct me if I'm mistaken).</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>We
are a small-ish, regional broadband ISP in the U.S. (inland
Washington and Idaho) that has also rolled out an
interconnected VoIP product over the past year. I'm trying to
wrestle through and understand what our responsibilities and
obligations are with regards to CALEA compliance at both the
legal and technical levels.<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Confession
time: we did not purchase a commercial softswitch product. We
built our own solution on top of Asterisk. (I can already
hear the groans and feel the tangible disapproval.) We went
this route for cost reasons, yes, but more importantly we did
it because with a custom-engineered solution, we were able to
seamlessly integrate our new voice offering with our other
existing products when it comes to both provisioning and
billing, and this (I believe) leads to a better and more
uniform experience for our customers. For better or worse, we
are an ISP first and foremost, and an ITSP second, and
provisioning for the new product needed to conform to existing
practices rather than be an island unto itself, as so many
"turn-key" offerings are.<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>But
I recognize that going down this path has brought with it a
distinct disadvantage when it comes to solving the CALEA
complaince problem. Notably, there are no known CALEA
solutions for Asterisk of any stripe that I have been able to
find, and any discussion about Asterisk and CALEA seems to
have peaked around the time (2006-2007) that the feds
announced VoIP providers were going to have to bring
themselves into compliance, and then quickly faded after that.<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Sure,
I could easily come up with something that would allow for
live or recorded call interception and/or delivery of CDR/CPNI
to law enforcement using existing tools already available to
me. What is unclear to me, though, is whether there is any
particular format or delivery mechanism for this data that the
law stipulates we follow. I know that there is an ANSI
standard, T1.678v2 (and the subsequent supplements), but of
course I have no access to that (200+ page) document without
paying the publisher hundreds of dollars for a copy. And even
if we got our hands on a copy, it sounds like it would be
prohibitively difficult to implement by ourselves.<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Does
the law actually stipulate that T1.678 be followed, and are
you not in compliance with CALEA regulations unless you
specifically use a solution that is T1.678-compatible? Or is
the T1.678 standard simply recommended and preferred by LEAs?
I have seen discussion threads where other people have talked
about their "creative" solutions to CALEA compliance, which
include things such as proxying the RTP stream and having a
bank of E&M channels at the ready to mirror the audio to (<a

Do these people actually know if their solution gets a
passing grade, or are they taking a gamble?<br>
