Tell us about the role of your company in this project. 

COSMOTE, as the leading telecommunications provider in Greece, plays a crucial role in the TRACY project by offering real-world insights into the provision of non-content data (NCD) to law enforcement authorities. Our expertise lies in ensuring that lawful access to metadata, such as call detail records and base station data, is technically feasible, secure, and compliant with legal frameworks. By contributing our operational experience, we help bridge the gap between theoretical models and the complex realities of telecom infrastructures.

Can you give an update about the latest developments? 

Our recent contributions have focused on providing technical clarifications and feedback during the TRACY system design and pilot phases, ensuring that the platform’s integration with telecommunications networks respects data accuracy, privacy, and security standards. We also participated in the closed technical demonstration hosted by the Hellenic Police, offering our perspective on how NCD requests are processed in practice.

What are your company’s next steps in the project, in relation to the pilot site? 

Going forward, COSMOTE will continue to support the TRACY consortium by offering technical expertise on NCD structures, sharing best practices for lawful access procedures, and contributing to the finalisation of the project’s outputs. Our aim is to help ensure that the TRACY platform can deliver real operational value while aligning with the strict legal and technical requirements of telecom providers.
