It is operated out of the diplomatic missions of the signatories to the UKUSA Agreement and the members of the ECHELON network including Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.
  In almost a hundred U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide, Stateroom operations are conducted by the Special Collection Service, a unit that is jointly operated by the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.
  According to documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the true mission of Stateroom personnel is generally not revealed to the rest of the diplomatic staff at the facilities where they are assigned.
