Gathering intelligence through real-time network monitoring is a key priority for communications service providers, as law enforcement agencies and other intelligence gathering institutions the world over demand selective access as a condition for offering service.
The OptiCop Interceptor is a purpose-built, comprehensive access solution for intercept applications. It offers selective access to data traffic on a variety of packet or TDM service networks ranging from high speed SONET/SDH/Ethernet to low speed T1/E1 and DS0. With Interceptor, Ethernet based tools can gain and maintain real-time WAN network access regardless of the WAN interface’s data stream speed or its framing attributes, tributary hierarchy, or protocol transport.
Traditionally, monitoring access for the interception market is performed by a collection of standard network elements that are forced into performing
specialized monitoring tasks they were not designed for. Interceptor, on the other hand, is specifically designed to selectively access, filter, and
off-load processing requirements for intercept application probes.
- Lossless interception of multi-protocol data
- Reduce CAPEX for monitoring and surveillance applications
- Provide selective, real-time access to data of interest
- Lower daily OPEX associated with network re-provisioning
- Accelerate intercept applications by pre-processing & filtering
The heart of NetQuest’s Interceptor is its ground-breaking Auto-Discovery process. In applications where private line or virtual private line services are being delivered, bandwidth allocation and protocol usage can vary greatly because they are determined by the end-user’s specific termination equipment. This issue is further complicated by the dynamic nature of network provisioning, which can change on a daily or even hourly basis. Auto-Discovery eliminates the need for the test equipment used to analyze circuit utilization, the ongoing manpower needed to operate this equipment, and the subsequent task of re-provisioning traditional solutions.
