IPDR Data Retention & Analysis

blog
Retention of subscriber data and communications related data has become a legal requirement for telecom operators and service providers around the world. Laws and regulations like the EU Directive 2006/24/EC oblige telecommunications service providers to retain CDRs, IPDRs, as well as subscriber data for a period of six to twenty-four months.While much of the data required is being recorded by providers already for billing and marketing purposes, these new regulations put some cumbersome and potentially costly obligations on CSPs in regards to data security, delivery of data, and completeness of information.
