TraceSpan Launches VDSL2 Lawful Interception System

Adds High Speed VDSL2 to its Family of Non-Intrusive Monitoring Solutions

Ra’anana, Israel – July 9, 2009 – TraceSpan™ Communications, a provider of broadband analysis and monitoring solutions, today announced the release of its VDSL Phantom™ 3838, a passive Lawful Interception (LI) monitoring solution for VDSL2 lines.

VDSL Phantom™ is a passive tapping device that records and stores broadband digital information, offering many unique advantages to Law Enforcement Authorities (LEA). VDSL Phantom™ is non-intrusive, allowing the LEA to monitor information without being detected. It supports high bit rates and can monitor both upstream and downstream data simultaneously. VDSL Phantom™ can be installed at virtually any location (Central Office or street), while the data can be monitored remotely.

VDSL Phantom™ is a new member of TraceSpan's Phantom™ family of passive Lawful Interception solutions for broadband data lines. It follows DSL Phantom™ 3000, the company's field-proven monitoring solution for ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2Plus, which is widely accepted and is being used by a variety of LEA worldwide.

 "Today's Law Enforcement Authorities need to be capable of monitoring one hundred percent of the traffic on any data line, whatever technology it uses", said Dr. Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan's founder and CEO. "We are proud to help them keep up with technology development and give them the capability to continue monitoring data lines as new communication technologies are put into service. We've received excellent feedbacks on our existing monitoring solutions, and in the near future we're also planning to introduce solutions for additional types of data communication lines".

VDSL Phantom™ is unique in the sense that it allows interception of all data, including peer-to-peer communication, even when it does not pass through the ISP server. Its ease of operation makes it deployable by a single law enforcement agent. VDSL Phantom™ has a standard interface to monitoring systems and can provide solid evidence, in which the target is uniquely identified. All of these, combined with its small footprint, make VDSL Phantom™ the ideal solution for any LEA monitoring VDSL2 lines, as well as the perfect solution for the Central Office.

VDSL Phantom™ will be presented in the NATIA Annual National Training Conference and Technology Exhibit, July 11th through 17th, 2009 in Memphis, TN.
