Lawfully-Authorized Electronic Surveillance Standards

To ensure industry-wide implementation of the assistance capability requirements of section 103 of CALEA, the CALEA Implementation Unit, in coordination with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, consults with the appropriate standards-setting organizations of the telecommunications industry. This information is provided as a cross reference between the various types of telecommunications services and the corresponding industry electronic surveillance standards.
