Sprint CALEA Delivery System
Product Release
(rev. 6.5.02)
In accordance with CALEA, Sprint has been working aggressively to deliver local,
state and federal law enforcement agencies surveillance data from throughout its
network. Currently, Sprint PCS is nearly 60% CALEA compliant. It is expected
to be completed by August/September 2002.
In order to accommodate law enforcement needs to access their J-STD-025
messages, Sprint has developed the Sprint CALEA Delivery System (CDS). Located
in Lee's Summit, Missouri, the CDS was developed to access all Sprint internal
wireless and wireline networks. It's sole purpose is to provide law enforcement
a single point of access to their surveillance data regardless of the Sprint
product or target's geographic location.

Private Line Circuit
Sprint recognizes that some law enforcement agencies will want their own
dedicated circuit for their surveillance activities. As a result, Sprint will
allow the following circuits to be terminated at the Lee's Summit Data Center
facility:
Maximum:
Minimum:
higher)

T1
Frame Relay (56k minimum.

It is recommended for 128K or

**Note: No ISDN circuits allowed.
Terminating Circuit Equipment
Due to space and management limitations, Sprint can only allow the following
equipment in the Lee's Summit Data Center circuit room:
A rack-mountable Cisco 26xx router that is no more than 1 unit high with an
internal CSU/DSU modem card.
Please Note: Space at the Lee's Summit Data Center is limited. As a result,
rack space is at a first-come-first-serve basis.
Prior to ordering a circuit,
please contact Corporate Security.
Equipment Management
Since the Sprint CALEA Delivery System is located at the very core of Sprint's
network, law enforcement will not be allowed access to any of their terminating
circuit equipment (router).
As a result, Sprint will allow two environments
for managing the law enforcement routers:
Law Enforcement Managed
All law enforcement owned equipment must be pre-configured and shipped to the
Lee's Summit Data Center.
Sprint will only be responsible for providing power, rack mounting and plugging
in network cables to the router.
Sprint will not manage this equipment or the corresponding circuit. In the
event of a failure, it is strictly the responsibility of law enforcement to
provide a response.
In the event of a failure, Sprint will only provide troubleshooting capabilities
to the last element of the shared Sprint network.
It is the responsibility of law enforcement to take the necessary security
precautions for their own network(s).
For hands-on management, Sprint will ship the equipment in law enforcement
provided boxes to whatever location law enforcement determines.
Law enforcement must use only publicly routable IP addressing. No private
addresses will be used.

Vendor Managed
Many law enforcement agencies may find it difficult to manage their own
equipment at the Lee's Summit Data Center. Sprint offers the services of three
long and trusted vendors that have assisted Sprint in many critical network
projects. A Sprint-approved vendor will have the ability to:
Get escorted access to the law enforcement equipment at the Lee's Summit Data
Center.
Provide 7x24 response to all access failure events.
Pro-actively monitor the end-to-end health of the law enforcement connection.
Assist in any other networking or security needs.

Note: Sprint does not have any business arrangements with any of the approved
vendors for this CALEA project. Any services, pricing or other agreements are
strictly between the law enforcement agency and their selected vendor.
SINS
The Sprint Integrated Network Surveillance (SINS) solution will
provide those law enforcement agencies that have yet to install
solution. Data from a CALEA compliant Sprint switch may look a
but it will still be available for a limited time via a dial-up
connection.

or internet

Please note: The SINS environment will be retired by the 4th Quarter of 2002.
All law enforcement agencies requiring surveillance from Sprint must convert to
the CALEA compliant equipment to receive electronic surveillance data.
Sprint will provide law enforcement 60 days notice prior to shutting down SINS.
Audio Delivery Options
Sprint will not allow dedicated lines to any of its switching facilities. For
ease of use and a true cost reduction solution, Sprint will automatically dial
any validated law enforcement phone number in the North American dial plan for
each Title III surveillance.
In anticipation, each Title III demand must come with a dialed number to send
the audio and a request for either a combined or separated calling party audio
channel delivery. Failure to provide such information can only result in
delayed surveillance provisioning.
