During this change, legacy circuits and new SIP services often run side by side. Interception obligations apply to both, and there must be no gap on the day a service moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">The shutdown affects two sides of the interception chain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operators<\/strong> need a consistent way to intercept calls that still arrive over TDM while new services already use SIP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Law enforcement agencies<\/strong> often receive intercepted calls through ISDN-based reception. When ISDN is switched off, that reception must move to SIP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">A PSTN\/ISDN to SIP converter solves both problems. It turns legacy calls into SIP sessions, so a single IP-based interception chain can handle them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6b9fc92b wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" id=\"what-does-the-pstnisdn-to-sip-converter-do\" style=\"background-color:#f3f7fb;padding-top:64px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:64px;padding-left:24px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1f0287b6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:44%\">\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-pstnisdn-to-sip-converter-do\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:32px;line-height:1.2\">What does the PSTN\/ISDN to SIP converter do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">The converter sits between the circuit-switched world and your IP-based interception platform. It handles two conversion tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Signaling conversion<\/strong>: circuit-switched call control is translated into SIP messages, so each call becomes a SIP session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Media conversion<\/strong>: voice carried on TDM channels is transformed into IP media streams that belong to the same session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">The resulting SIP sessions look like native VoIP calls to the interception platform. The platform can capture them and deliver them to the authority per ETSI TS 102 232-5, the ETSI handover specification for IP multimedia services. This lets operators keep one interception approach for legacy and IP voice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow

converter?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">A PSTN\/ISDN to SIP converter is an appliance that connects legacy circuit-switched telephone networks to SIP. In lawful interception, it converts signaling and media from PSTN and ISDN calls into SIP sessions. Interception platforms can then capture these calls like VoIP and deliver them to authorities per ETSI TS 102 232-5, the ETSI specification for IP multimedia handover.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Why does the ISDN shutdown affect lawful interception?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">When operators replace ISDN with all-IP networks, interception must continue without a gap. Legacy and IP voice often run in parallel for some time, and both are subject to interception orders. Law enforcement agencies that receive intercepted calls over ISDN must also move their reception to SIP. A converter lets both sides use one IP-based chain.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Which standard applies to the SIP-based handover?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">ETSI TS 102 232-5 defines the handover of intercepted IP multimedia services, including SIP-based voice. It belongs to the ETSI TS 102 232 family for IP handover. Legacy circuit-switched interception is typically based on ETSI TS 101 671. The ICS converter enables the move from the circuit-switched model to TS 102 232-5.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Is the converter only for network operators?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">No. Operators use it to keep interception running while they migrate PSTN and ISDN to IP voice. Law enforcement agencies can also benefit, because many still run ISDN-based reception that must move to SIP when ISDN is switched off. ICS advises both sides on the right migration path and placement of the converter.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Does ICS test the interception chain after installation?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">Yes. ICS runs end-to-end call interception tests after deployment. The tests confirm that calls converted from PSTN or ISDN are captured, mediated and delivered correctly to the monitoring facility. ICS also integrates the converter with your mediation platform and existing LI systems, so the complete chain is verified before you rely on it.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

\"What is a PSTN\/ISDN to SIP converter?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A PSTN\/ISDN to SIP converter is an appliance that connects legacy circuit-switched telephone networks to SIP. In lawful interception, it converts signaling and media from PSTN and ISDN calls into SIP sessions. Interception platforms can then capture these calls like VoIP and deliver them to authorities per ETSI TS 102 232-5, the ETSI specification for IP multimedia handover.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why does the ISDN shutdown affect lawful interception?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"When operators replace ISDN with all-IP networks, interception must continue without a gap. Legacy and IP voice often run in parallel for some time, and both are subject to interception orders. Law enforcement agencies that receive intercepted calls over ISDN must also move their reception to SIP. A converter lets both sides use one IP-based chain.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Which standard applies to the SIP-based handover?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"ETSI TS 102 232-5 defines the handover of intercepted IP multimedia services, including SIP-based voice. It belongs to the ETSI TS 102 232 family for IP handover. Legacy circuit-switched interception is typically based on ETSI TS 101 671. The ICS converter enables the move from the circuit-switched model to TS 102 232-5.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is the converter only for network operators?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"No. Operators use it to keep interception running while they migrate PSTN and ISDN to IP voice. Law enforcement agencies can also benefit, because many still run ISDN-based reception that must move to SIP when ISDN is switched off. ICS advises both sides on the right migration path and placement of the converter.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does ICS test the interception chain after installation?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes. ICS runs end-to-end call interception tests after deployment. The tests confirm that calls converted from PSTN or ISDN are captured, mediated and delivered correctly to the monitoring facility. ICS also integrates the converter with your mediation platform and existing LI systems, so the complete chain is verified before you rely on it.\"}}]}<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ICS PSTN\/ISDN to SIP converter turns legacy circuit-switched signaling and media into SIP, so interception continues per ETSI
