Commetrex Rolls Out PowerIntercept Configuration
Of BladeWare IP Platform
Commetrex Corporation announced
the immediate availability of PowerIntercept, a focused lawful-intercept
(LI) configuration of BladeWare, its host-signal-processing IP platform,
and the company's media-processing technologies. The value-adding platform
gives the OEM an open, scalable software product that provides for the
monitoring and recording of IP-based voice and fax call streams. The
product targets the developer of LI systems for national security
agencies, law-enforcement, forensic intelligence, call-center quality
monitoring, and the financial services industries.
BladeWare is comprised of Commetrex' Open Telecommunications Framework
Kernel client-server telephony framework and OpenMedia, the company's
media-processing framework. A call classifier that discriminates between
secure telephone units, voice, fax, and data is included. Then,
terminating IP voice and fax are added. Terminating voice includes support
for G.711 and G.726. Low-bit-rate vocoders are also available as optional
items. Fax rendering is based on FaxTap, Commetrex' recently released
fax-rendering software, which converts recordings of PCM-based fax
transactions to TIFF-F image files. PowerIntercept also includes FaxTap
for T.38-based fax transactions.
Cliff Schornak, Commetrex' CTO, said, "Not all gateways support T.38, the
ITU recommendation for real-time IP-based fax. Those gateways that do not
support T.38 try to provide PSTN-transport quality by using a technique
called G.711 pass-through. So an IP-based recording or monitoring system
must be able to handle faxes based on both T.38 and G.711. PowerIntercept
does that."
Mike Coffee, Commetrex' CEO, said, "National security is important these
days, and we intend to serve this need by creating timely, value-added
products for the industry's OEMs. Legislation and regulations are
requiring communications service providers to design and implement
networks that explicitly support authorized electronic surveillance.
PowerIntercept addresses this need."
