Recording Audio for Troubleshooting
by peter.w.fabian＠gmail.com May 7, 2016

May 7, 2016

I know that many providers capture voice traffic (RTP) for troubleshooting purposes, despite the various privacy laws that are in place against wiretapping. We are planning to have a legal review of our rights and responsibilities regarding this practice. In preparation for that, I want to identify what regulations are being cited in defense of being able to capture and review this traffic? What restrictions do people follow when doing these captures? Are limited retention times enforced? Assuming that a justification for initiating the capture is required, what qualifies, and do you need to retain records of the justification? We are located in the US and only provide services to US customers, so rules relevant to operation in the United States are what I am interested in. We will obviously look to our own legal counsel for direction, and not take any information provided here as legal advise. Thanks Pete

Troubleshooting an RLT issue for a client and would like to short-cut the usual Tier1, Tier2, Tier3 dance, since most of the low level techs don?t know RLT from a BLT (sandwich). Thx.

CLEC - SIP handoff from the LECs
by ryan＠finnesey.com May 1, 2016

Yes I do think there will be an opportunity to partner with CLECs and also deploy our own network. In the end I think it will be a bit of a hybrid. For the fax service we would like to use are own NXXs But one area I see opportunity to work with CLECs is around Office 365. The local CLEC can provide SIP and network connectivity. We developed an appliance that would enable hosted PBX services to run out of the Office 365 data centers but the voice traffic be routed to the CLEC. I would think a win win.

ILEC interconnect still require plain old TDM . But you can partner with other CLECs like us to share cost of TDM connectivity, without committing to investment in TDM switch and transport. Thanks, Naush Good Evening Is it possible for a CLEC to get a SIP handoff from the LECs or is TDM still requested?

Recommendations for high-cps SS7 OC-X gear?
by bbridges＠o1.com April 25, 2016

April 25, 2016

Looking for suggestions for NEBS compliant gear that can support SS7, handle OC-3 or higher levels of channels, and can support (in aggregate) up to around 500 cps through a *good* (key word) SIP interface. I'm willing to entertain the idea of a single larger device that can take a full OC-48 and support the full 500 cps, but I'd prefer spread the load across multiple devices and smaller interfaces for load balancing and redundancy. Any pointers? Obviously there are products out there by the really big players, but I'd really rather not have to drop 7 figures on this project unless I have to. Thanks!
