Ingate® Systems (www.ingate.com), which
develops firewall technology and products that enable SIP-based live
communication for the enterprise while maintaining control and security at
the network edge, has earned the prestigious 2005 Product of the Year Award
from Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)'s Internet Telephony®
magazine (www.itmag.com).
Ingate won the 2005 Award for its Remote
SIP Connectivity software module for the Ingate SIParator® 45. This is the
fourth consecutive year that Ingate SIParators have been honored with the
Award.
Ingate Remote SIP Connectivity is a far-end NAT traversal solution that
enables remote users to leverage the benefits of SIP communications already
integrated into the company's network. SIP communications -- including
VoIP -- do not reach users behind firewalls and Network Address Translation
(NAT) devices automatically. Remote SIP Connectivity allows users behind
many remote (non SIP-aware) NATs and residential firewalls to communicate
via SIP without the need for adding additional hardware or software at the
remote site, simply by installing the Ingate SIParator at the enterprise
data center.
Ingate's SIParator 45 connects to an existing network firewall to
seamlessly enable the traversal of SIP communications. Like all Ingate
hardware, the SIParator 45 solves the NAT traversal issues inherent in SIP
communications. Incorporated in the SIParator is Ingate's full SIP proxy,
which delivers maximum control over SIP signaling, traffic and network
security.

The SIParator 45 is an ideal complement to an IP PBX system as it supports
advanced IP PBX functions such as call transfer, call hold and voicemail.
It also boasts full support and compatibility for Microsoft Office Live
Communications Server (LCS), allowing voice, video, IM and presence
applications to work outside the LAN.
"At a reasonable price point, Remote SIP Connectivity for the SIParator 45
delivers true global connectivity with the very best in next-generation
communications technology," said Steven Johnson, President, Ingate Systems.
"In addition, the Ingate SIParator 45+ is a companion product with the same
form factor and support for more concurrent SIP sessions. Together,
Ingate's Remote SIP Connectivity and the SIParator 45 or the 45+ offer a
flexible solution for today's growing businesses."
"Each year Internet Telephony magazine bestows its Product of the Year
awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological
advancement and application refinements. Ingate Systems has demonstrated
to the editors of Internet Telephony that its products are committed to
quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the marketplace,"
said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Internet
Telephony.
Ingate SIParators are available in a range of sizes to meet the needs of
any business. The SIParator 18 supports up to 30 simultaneous calls, while
the SIParator 88 -- the largest in the SIParator line -- supports up to
800.
The Product of the Year Award winners for 2005 will be published in the
February 2006 issue of Internet Telephony magazine.
