A Lawful Interception (LI) mediation platform is the core software layer that securely bridges Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with law enforcement agencies. It collects, filters and formats targeted communication data – both content and metadata – from diverse networks and delivers it to authorized agencies in a controlled, standards‑compliant way
Achieve Your Goals with Our Expert Guidance
Our LI Mediation Platform coordinates intercepts across fixed, mobile, VoIP, broadband and OTT services, ensuring that every lawful request is executed correctly, logged completely and handed over in the required ETSI and 3GPP formats.
Core Functions of the LI Mediation Platform
Explore the main capabilities that turn raw network events into lawful, auditable interception records ready for delivery to law enforcement.
Data Collection & Mediation
The platform receives raw traffic and signaling data from network elements such as switches, routers, gateways and application servers. It filters the information according to active warrants and converts it into standardized formats required by law enforcement agencies.
Handover Delivery
Once mediated, Intercept Related Information (IRI) and Content of Communication (CC) are delivered to the appropriate Law Enforcement Monitoring Facility over secure, standards‑based handover interfaces. The platform supports multiple agencies in parallel while keeping their cases and data streams strictly separated.
Protocol Conversion
Our mediation layer translates between vendor‑specific network outputs and national or international LI handover profiles. This includes handling different protocol versions, adapting to ETSI and 3GPP interface requirements and ensuring interoperability in heterogeneous, multi‑vendor environments.
Standards‑Based Architecture & Interfaces
The mediation platform follows established ETSI and 3GPP reference architectures, separating network collection from secure handover towards law enforcement.
Network‑Side Interfaces (X1, X2, X3)
On the network side, the platform uses interfaces such as X1, X2 and X3 to receive administrative commands, metadata and content from LI‑enabled elements. This separation ensures that core network functions remain stable while interception is coordinated through a dedicated mediation layer.
Handover Interfaces (HI1, HI2, HI3)
Towards law enforcement, the platform supports HI1, HI2 and HI3 handover interfaces for warrant management, Intercept Related Information and Content of Communication. Using these standardized interfaces allows CSPs to serve multiple agencies and jurisdictions without redesigning their network each time.
Innovative Solutions for Modern Challenges
Modern networks and services generate massive volumes of communications data, while legal, privacy and security requirements grow more complex. Our LI Mediation Platform is built to meet these challenges.
Intuitive User Interface
A secure, browser‑based interface lets authorized staff manage warrants, view status information and generate reports without needing deep protocol knowledge. Clear workflows reduce the risk of configuration errors and support fast, compliant execution of new intercepts.
Advanced Automation
Automated provisioning and de‑provisioning of targets help ensure that only authorized data is collected during the exact time windows specified in warrants. Built‑in validation and monitoring increase reliability and minimize operational overhead for NOC and compliance teams.
Customizable Workflows
Every jurisdiction has its own procedures and timelines, so the platform allows customization of approval flows, notification rules and reporting formats. This flexibility helps CSPs align interception processes with internal compliance policies and external legal requirements such as ETSI standards and CALEA.
Why Mediation Platforms Are Essential.
CSPs must support lawful interception while protecting customer privacy, data integrity and network performance. The mediation platform is the technical safeguard that balances these obligations.
Strategic Consulting
ICS helps you analyze regulatory obligations, network topology and existing LI components to design an appropriate mediation architecture. Together we define how warrants, targets and handovers should be handled to ensure full legal and operational alignment.
Compliance & Audits
Our experts support your legal and compliance teams with documentation, process descriptions and reports needed for audits and regulatory reviews. The platform’s detailed logs demonstrate that interception is limited to authorized targets and that all actions are traceable.
