PRESS RELEASE (PR) PRESENTATION (PS) NEWS ARTICLE (NA) 01 (PR) 'Packetcable' Electronic Surveillance Technical Specification "a Positive Development" FROM: FBI National Press Office DATE: September 7, 2004 URL: http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel04/cablelab.htm FBI CALLS CABLELABS' RELEASE OF ITS PACKETCABLE' ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION "A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT" FOR CABLE INDUSTRY COMPLIANCE WITH CALEA AND THE LAWFUL ACCESS NEEDS OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT Washington DC - FBI response of CableLabs release of a technical specification known as "PacketCable Electronic Surveillance Specification" was developed to facilitate the cable industry's compliance with CALEA and meet lawful access needs of all levels of law enforcement. "... this technical specification represents a milestone in the cable industry's efforts to address law enforcement's concerns regarding VoIP services made available by cable companies," said Kerry Haynes, FBI Asst. Director responsible for Investigative Technologies. "This specification is an extremely positive development which ultimately empowers all law enforcement agencies with technical capability to continue to protect the public by effectuating court-authorized electronic surveillance. We look forward working with the industry in its development of technical solutions based on this specification & with companies as they implement PacketCable in their IP networks." CableLabs initial effort to specify a technical solution for electronic surveillance of IP-based networks was released Dec. 1999 as Issue 1 of the "PacketCable Electronic Surveillance Specification." Following its release, law enforcement identified a number of capabilities absent from Issue 1. Since that time, CableLabs has actively sought law enforcement input into its technical specification process to ensure that law enforcement's need to intercept communications was addressed adequately. The recent release of Issue 4 of the PacketCable Electronic Surveillance Specification represents the culmination of the cooperative endeavor between CableLabs & Law enforcement in establishing a set of technical requirements to facilitate law enforcement's future use of court-authorized electronic surveillance. Haynes said "this document is an great example of law enforcement & industry collaboration in the public interest. It stands as a model for future industry-law enforcement cooperative efforts." Special recognition & appreciation to Time-Warner, Comcast, CableVision, & Cox for their diligent efforts in collaboration with CableLabs. 02 (NA) Cox closes wiretap hole for VoIP FROM: CNET News Website DATE: April 5, 2004 URL: http://news.com.com/2100-7352-5184774.html Police can now wiretap all Internet phone calls on Cox Communications' network, kicking off a new era for law enforcement. The cable & broadband provider turned to security specialist VeriSign to supply the know-how, announced Monday. Law enforcement officers can now eavesdrop on every call made by Cox's nearly 1 million VoIP phone subscribers. Police can already tap calls on 12 of Cox's 13 phone markets because they rely on traditional telephone equipment equipped with eavesdropping abilities. But in December, Cox deployed VoIP, a much cheaper alternative that uses the unregulated Internet. Roanoke, Va., is the first of several small markets where Cox is deploying VoIP technology. There is no requirement to tap Net phone calls yet, but all broadband providers are feeling pressure from a far-reaching FBI proposal that would require compliance of 1994 CALEA. This act requires telecommunications carriers to rewire their networks to government specs to provide police with guaranteed access for wiretaps. Cable operators "realize they are going to have to do it one day," a VeriSign representative said. VeriSign Vice President Raj Puri said VeriSign is talking with "all major cable companies selling VoIP" but did not announce any additional deals Monday. Cable operator Comcast offers broadband phone service that uses a mixture of VoIP & traditional phone switches. Time Warner Cable and Cable- vision are VoIP-only. Telephone services are playing an increasingly important role for US cable companies, which are winning new customers by offering low-priced bundles of broadband, television and phone services. Traditional phone companies have responded with a "triple play" of services of their own. By Ben Charny 03 (PR) UTStarcom & VeriSign agreement that will offer CALEA Service to VoIP Providers FROM: Verisign Website DATE: November 10, 2004 URL: http://www.verisign.com/verisign-inc/news-and-events/news-archive/us-news-2004/page_017569.html Agreement Helps Both Companies Reach New Markets, Gives VoIP Providers Easy Access to Leading IP Softswitch & CALEA Compliance Services Alameda, CA., & Tulsa, Ok., Nov. 10, 2004 - As a Part of the joint marketing agreement, UTStarcom will refer its mSwitch IP telecom softswitch platform customers -- those who need assistance in compliance with the CALEA -- to the VeriSign NetDiscovery Service. The two companies have made NetDiscovery interoperable with mSwitch in order to support service providers' VoIP and other voice-over -broadband (VoBB) deployments. mSwitch platform supports traditional PSTN & softswitch protocols, bridging the gap between existing circuit-switched platforms and packet-switched networks, while enabling service providers to offer VoBB services. NetDiscovery Service is a lawful-assistance & CALEA compliance service that handles provisioning, access, delivery & collection of call information for service providers & network operators, to facilitate directives from Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA). CALEA applied only to PSTN switches but FCC published a proposed rulemaking regarding the applicability of IP voice services to CALEA. "Interoperation between our mSwitch and NetDiscovery Service will meet service providers' needs for regulatory services," Farshid Mohammadi, general manager, North America/International, at UTStarcom. "FCC recommends VoBB service providers to comply with CALEA. UTStarcom can take advantage of the agreement with VeriSign to make the widest range of options, including the leading hosted CALEA service, available to service providers that offer VoBB..." It is Cost-Effective meeting CALEA compliance with assistance from VeriSign's outsourced service model to help providers employ UTStarcom's mSwitch. CALEA requires carriers to assist LEAs in lawfully authorized interception and subpoena requests for subscriber records. To comply, carriers often have to purchase dedicated hardware, invest heavily in training, and maintain connectivity with a variety of LEAs. NetDiscovery Service greatly streamlines CALEA compliance requirements by maintaining all LEA connections, and it eliminates the need for mSwitch users to purchase costly equipment. VeriSign service offers secure and streamlined administration and a multitude of connectivity options that help reduce the burden of compliance for a service provider, allowing them to more easily fulfill the mandates of lawful interception. 04 (PR) NewCross Technologies Teams with SS8 Networks to deliver CALEA-Compliant VoIP Solution FROM: SPRING 2005 VON CONFERENCE & EXPO SAN JOSE, CA DATE: March 08, 2005 URL: http://www.newxt.com/PR%203-08-2005%20SS8.pdf PAGE 1: IMMEDIATE RELEASE Solution to Empower Service Providers to Deploy Broadband VoIP & IP Centrex Services with Confidence.

The three cable companies Golden Channels, Tevel & Matav-Cable Systems Media gearing up to launch PacketCable-based VoIP service (CALEA- compliant) in Israel after gaining the government's permission to set up a national inland telephony network last November. Plans call for the trio to start offering the service in Oct. or Nov. under the companies' year-old operating & marketing consortium, Hot Telecom. This will put Hot Telecom against Bezeq Israel's powerful national phone company. Golden Channels, Tevel & Matav say they will spend a total of $100 million over next 3 years to set up and deploy new PacketCable-based IP telephony network. They intend to invest at least another $65 million in the network as they try to make inroads against Bezeq, which is partly owned by the government but is in process of being privatized. They hope to turn the Hot Telecom entity into full-blown corporate merger after completing VoIP service launch. Israeli government said the companies that they can carry out their merger if they meet conditions: starting voice service by late November and investing at least $80 million in voice infrastructure by June 2006. "We're pretty excited, we think this is a good plan" Dave Dial, president Lucent Cable Solutions, which was chosen as the primary network integrator to set up the network. Golden Channels, Tevel & Matav should score well in the telephony market, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade their facilities for advanced new services. Israeli's government holds a 50% stake in Bezeq but showing strong support for Hot Telecom's competitive thrust. The three cable operators have also enlisted a number of prominent equipment suppliers & other tech vendors. As primary network integrator, Lucent heads the list with a contract worth $35 million over the next 3 years. Hot Telecom selected Lucent in July. Nortel Networks, Siemens & Netcom Systems also bid for the highly prized contract. Israeli cable operators looked at equipment from Cisco Systems & Terayon Communication Systems. Under the $35 million contract, Lucent's role is to provide "end-to-end solution" for Hot Telecom, including network design, engineering, deployment & maintenance. "We're working with over 20 vendors, They've got a dual-vendor strategy in many of those elements... There's quite a mix.' Lucent's list of other cable tech vendors includes: Nortel & Gallery IP telephony, which are providing the soft switches; Audio Codes & Nuera, which are supplying the media gateways; & C-Cor. "We've been working this opportunity since last January or February."

Previous Cedar Point investors Ascent Venture Partners, Battery Ventures, Charles River Ventures, Comcast Interactive Capital & STAR Ventures all participated. The latest capital infusion follows investment rounds of $25 million in March 2003 & $19 million in Sept. 2002, bringing Cedar Point's fundraising total to more than $60 million. Cedar Point's Safari C3 switch integrates PacketCable Call Management Server, Media Gateway, Record Keeping Server, Announcement Server, Signaling Gateway & CALEA server functionality in a single platform. 09 (NA) NeuStar acquires VoIP CALEA compliance leader Fiducianet FROM: Telephony Online Site DATE: February 7, 2005 URL: http://telephonyonline.com/finance/news/NeuStar_Fiducianet_acquisition_020705/ Fiducianet founded by 29-year FBI veteran Mike Warren in January 2002 & began operations in May of that year with the industry's first service bureau for CALEA compliance. In pursuit of more homeland security business & it efforts to grow its portfolio of third-party trusted services to communications providers, NeuStar acquired Herndon, Va-based law enforcement compliance company, Fiducianet. Joining Warren under NeuStar, Douglas McCollum, general counsel & vice president of services at Fiducianet. Former assistant U.S attorney & has 26 years experience in carrier compliance with Bell Atlantic & Verizon. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed. Not only are they a CALEA compliance solution, they provide fraud management & service assurance solutions. Among Fiducianet's customers are CTC Communications, Time Warner Communications, Northwest Telephone and Cbeyond Communications. Primary focus for NeuStar will be to bring the CALEA platform to a broader market, particularly the VoIP market. "Service providers are legally on the hook to solve this problem, Fiducianet has the platform that solves it. They can do it better, more efficiently than carriers can themselves." said Jeffrey Ganek, chairman & CEO of NeuStar. NeuStar/Fiducianet are providing solutions for traditional CALEA compliance on circuit switched networks, but VoIP providers face more complex problems trying to comply with law enforcement requirements. "Our customers face tremendous administrative costs to comply with existing legislation," Ganek said. Discussions among groups like IETF to establish standards for complying with VoIP lawful intercept resulted in leaving the effort to individual vendors. Non-standard interception functions have made the problem harder to solve, especially compared to the legacy environment where the functionality is baked into circuit switches. "The challenge is dealing with a single level of granularity as to what type of session you need to monitor. You have to be able to detect when a session that is to be lawfully intercepted is in fact being initiated," Foster NeuStar senior vice president & CTO said. Fiducianet saw the number of requests from law enforcement go from more than 1 million in 2001 to over 2 million in 2003. Its service bureau model is designed to help service providers in the VoIP cope with the continued increase.

Regulatory features such as emergency 911 service & CALEA will be tested & deployed in stages during Phase II, which will be available in Dec. 2002 & is scheduled to run through summer 2003. 11 (NA) CALEA's Call Challenges MSOs Work Electronic Surveillance into VoIP Systems FROM: Cedar Point Communications Site DATE: September 1, 2003 URL: http://www.cedarpointcom.com/pdf/CALEA_9_03.pdf. Cable operators with VoIP services are apparently making the call to support law enforcement's electronic-surveillance capabilities under 1994 CALEA. Moorestown, NJ, lab, Comcast is now testing 2 CALEA-delivery strategies. The first uses original PacketCable architecture, where the softswitch & voice -signaling gateway are separate devices. In that scheme, Comcast is using softswitches from Syndeo Corp. & more recently added Cisco Systems Inc. To provide a centralized CALEA call intercept, Comcast is using software and a box provided by start-up SS8 Networks, which links to each of the devices in the network, allowing it to flag the call to be wiretapped.

Important issue since FCC recently issued a declaratory ruling stating PTT are subject to CALEA, regardless of the technologies that operators choose to deploy in offering these services. GSM, CDMA & UMTS wireless net. operators deploying the Kodiak RTX System in the U.S. & abroad are assured that these systems meet all U.S. government Interception requirements whether subscribers are in their home territory or roaming outside their service area. "From the beginning, Kodiak's architects & designers considered the need for lawful surveillance & ensured that CALEA compliance was maintained as one of the key development principles of the Kodiak RTX System, Essentially, any voice communication that goes through US infrastructure must be CALEA compliant, whether the carrier is U.S.-based or not. When these operators deploy the Kodiak RTX Systems, they are ensuring immediate compliance across the entirety of their voice networks." Craig Farrill, CEO of Kodiak Networks. Intercept equipment & monitoring costs, averaged more than $62,000 per intercept 2003. Growing list of global system deployments of the highly scalable standards-based Kodiak RTX System include: ALLTEL, Cellcom, & Bluegrass Cellular, headquartered in the U.S.; European- based carrier Orange and Asia Pacific operator IT&E, located in Guam. Kodiak Networks works with its wireless carrier customers abroad to ensure that their lawful intercept capabilities are fully operational and meet their respective national requirements.
