It was originally an EIA working group that was spun off and merged with the U.S. J-STD-025 defined delivery and administration functionality in a single platform running on UNIX operating systems and industry standard hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today. See platform. . It receives the intercepted communications data from various circuit-switched network elements, processes it to conform to Verb 1. conform to - satisfy a condition or restriction; "Does this paper meet the requirements for the degree?" fit, meet coordinate - be co-ordinated; "These activities coordinate well" the requirements of J-STD-025, and then distributes it to the appropriate LEA collection facilities.
