InfReq90

Automated information requests (sect. 112 German Telecommunications Act (TKG))

InfReq90 enables law enforcement and security authorities and other authorized bodies (e.g. emergency services and government agencies cracking down on undocumented and other illicit workers) to initiate automated requests for telecom information directed to the Federal Network Agency, the regulatory authority, as provided for by section 112 of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG) (“SARS interface”), the Agency forwarding these requests to telecom providers. InfReq90 also features a Web Services API enabling other IT systems (systems for lawful intercept actions, emergency services dispatch systems, etc.) to initiate information requests (cf. section 112 of the Act).
