3GPP LI for mobile & 5G

Our platform implements 3GPP LI requirements and architecture (TS 33.106, TS 33.107, TS 33.108) for 2G–5G and IMS, aligning core‑network interception with ETSI handover. We interface with packet cores, IMS and service nodes to generate IRI and CC at defined reference points and forward them via HI2/HI3.

Usage and subscriber data

Usage and subscriber data are at the heart of many lawful disclosure and data‑retention obligations. Our solutions help you collect, store and hand over traffic, location and subscriber records in a controlled, auditable way. We align your data models and processes with ETSI TS 102 657 and national rules, so you can answer lawful requests efficiently while applying strict minimization and retention policies.

Germany – Auslandskopfüberwachung

In Germany, operators must support cross‑border interception and disclosure (Auslandskopfüberwachung) in line with specific legal and regulatory requirements. Our platforms extend ETSI‑compliant handover with jurisdiction‑aware routing, logging and reporting to meet German and international expectations. We work with you to implement robust processes for handling foreign requests, coordinating with authorities and demonstrating compliance to the Bundesnetzagentur and other regulators.

Legal Framework for Lawful Interception in Europe

Lawful interception (LI) is a statutory obligation for telecommunications operators and service providers in most jurisdictions worldwide. In the European Union, the framework is primarily defined by national transpositions of the EU Electronic Communications Code and Directive 2006/24/EC on data retention, alongside country-specific laws. In Germany, §108 of the Telekommunikationsgesetz (TKG) and the Technische Richtlinie zur Umsetzung gesetzlicher Maßnahmen zur Überwachung der Telekommunikation (TR TKÜV) set out the precise technical and organisational requirements for interception capability.

Technically, European LI implementations are standardised by ETSI. The ETSI TS 102 232 series defines the Handover Interface (HI) architecture including HI1 (administrative), HI2 (Intercept Related Information / IRI) and HI3 (Content of Communication / CC). Additional standards cover OTT and web services (ETSI TS 103 707), retained data disclosure (ETSI TS 102 657), vehicle-related communications (ETSI TR 103 854), and mobile network interception for 5G and IMS (3GPP TS 33.106, 33.107, 33.108).

Failure to maintain compliant lawful interception capability can result in significant fines from the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency), revocation of operating licences, and reputational damage. ICS helps organisations implement and certify their LI infrastructure efficiently, reducing time-to-compliance and ongoing operational overhead through proven, modular platform architectures.
