(The LIMS-1 may or may not be collocated within the service providers network.) A Lawful Intercept Management Server (LIMS-2) shall act as a centralized server (located outside a service providers network) to communicate with multiple service providers Lawful Intercept Mediation Systems (LIMS-1). In the case of a management server, the primary function is to serve as a centralized provisioning system (HI1/provision) and if applicable a centralized delivery point for intercepted data (HI2/IRI/data). Either LIMS shall be compatible and able to support the Contractors T2S2 Systems provided by the government, including the ability to seamlessly and without delay process all Intercept Related Information (IRI) to the T2S2 System. The LIMS shall be capable of providing comprehensive management of all incoming and outgoing intercepted information prior to delivery to the Contractors T2S2 System throughout the following three stages, when applicable:
1. Extraction or delivery of IRI from the service providers network;
2. Mediation of IRI in a format to conform to specific standards required by the T2S2 system; and
3. Delivery of IRI to the Contractors T2S2 System.
All Collection Systems shall be compatible with all hardware/software solutions developed by industry to comply with the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the standards set by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The systems shall provide the associated support, services and maintenance.
