Ingate Wins Pulver 100 Award

Named Pioneering New Growth Company in Communications Sector

Stockholm, October 6, 2003 - Ingate Systems (www.ingate.com), the leading supplier of SIP-capable enterprise firewalls, won the prestigious Pulver 100 Award, an honor reserved for the top 100 pioneering new growth companies in the communications arena. The award was announced at the Fall VON trade show in Boston, Mass.

The Pulver 100 Award is bestowed by pulver.com, which produces the VON conferences and is actively engaged in promoting the growth of communications technology.

The Pulver 100 list, first introduced in September 2002, includes private companies in the communications sector that have substantial real-world deployments and enjoy significant growth rates. The list seeks to include companies that represent the future of the communications ecosystem. The value chain characterized by listed companies differs substantially from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century. The companies prospering in the new environment have followed the computer and networking industry model with open interfaces, connectivity decoupled from services, and software decoupled from hardware. They have little or no dependence on the traditional telephone network, equipment or service providers.

"It is an honor to be named a Pulver 100 company. This is the second time we have enjoyed this privilege," said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate Systems. "Ingate is leading the industry in developing SIP-enabling technologies that bring applications such as VoIP, IM, presence and video to businesses of any size, on any budget. We have broken the barriers that have kept businesses from using SIP-based applications with products that bring SIP to every enterprise quickly, easily and in such a way that preserves past IT investments."
