Surveillance Simplified.    Meet the PF.LI-2.

The PF.LI-2 is a purpose-built surveillance platform for Ethernet, IP and MPLS networks. This rack-mounted 2U platform integrates up to 2TB of high-speed, reliable storage with ten 1-gigabit network interfaces, four of which offer SFP for a variety of fiber and copper media options. It is an ideal surveillance platform for small to medium-sized telecom network operators, universities, and other organizations with government-mandated fiduciary compliance requirements. A perfect CALEA solution, the PF.LI-2 offers best-in-class performance, flexibility, and economics. The added ability to run non-CALEA applications increases the value of your investment and makes this platform truly unique in the industry.

PF.LI-2

Introduction

The PF.LI-2 is tailored toward specific needs in the areas of lawful intercept, network intelligence collection, and communications policy enforcement. The LI-2 is a complete turnkey Lawful Intercept solution fully contained in a proprietary hardware/software platform. Offering the most affordable approach to CALEA and other lawful intercept requirements, the comprehensive system is designed for flexibility and can be enhanced to support several other applications related to network surveillance.

Key Advantages of the PF.LI-2 Network Surveillance Platform:

  • Allows for drop-in technical CALEA compliance
  • Communicates directly with law enforcement using Safe Harbor standards
  • Provides both IAP/Probe and Mediation functions
  • Performs dialed digit extraction using multiple methods
  • Records network traffic with intelligent ring buffering
  • Surveils networks using deep packet inspection
  • Enables carrier-class performance and stability
  • Exceeds standard LI criteria selection capabilities
  • Uses advanced firmware-update to support evolving LI standards
  • Allows add-on applications to operate on separate physical interfaces

Value-Add Solution

Packet Forensics adds value and reduces costs and installation challenges by using a unified hardware/software solution. This approach eliminates the expense of traditional systems that require separate IAPs and mediation devices, and integrates these functions into one streamlined system. This approach also avoids back-haul of data from edge collection probes back inside the core to mediation and then out again to the LEA. Management and maintenance of the single device is also greatly simplified to save time and reduce steps to comply with time-critical intercept orders.

Specific LI for Specific Court Orders

Unlike many competitive solutions, Packet Forensics' surveillance software goes beyond identifying voice traffic and gives it the special handling it deserves. Instead of delivering a data intercept containing voice, our solution uses the proper mediation methodology and delivery protocol to treat voice intercepts differently than data intercepts. This affords you the most specific form of compliance while doing the best job of upholding the privacy of your constituents.
