About Allround

In order to help prevention, investigation and detection of serious crimes, the availability of traffic data of electronic communications is becoming more and more essential. As a milestone in this process and an indication of a developing global trend, the European Parliament adopted on 14 December 2005 the Commission’s proposal for a directive, which provides an EU-wide harmonization of the obligations on providers of publicly available electronic communications, or a public telecommunications network, to retain data related to mobile and fixed telephony and IP traffic and make available for competent national authorities. See our diagram below for the future agenda of the whole process.

Every telecom operator and internet service provider will be submitted to new compulsory requirements, meeting them will be inevitable. The storage of traffic data shall not be confused with the storage of records for billing or other business purposes, the aspect of collection and security requirements is different. To react properly to the new demands, being prepared is essential.

Late or improper compliance can:

- Damage the operator’s reputation and its subscriber’s loyalty
- Endanger co-operation with local authorities
- Result in non-realistic technical regulations
- Limit the financing and reimbursing opportunities

On the other hand, a well-prepared operator can avoid these risks and in addition, can derive business benefits from the new system. Allround believes that the best way to comply is to adapt a cost-efficient solution, which brings you favorable technical and financial conditions and improves your image in the eye of your customers and regulators.

Don’t forget, tomorrow comes early! Allround helps you to be prepared, and act in time.
