INGATE® SIP-ENABLES 70,000 ENTERPRISE USERS WORLDWIDE

FALL 2004 VON CONFERENCE & EXPO, BOSTON, October 18, 2004 - Ingate® Systems (www.ingate.com, whose award-winning security products enable enterprises to solve the problem of letting Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) traverse their firewalls, announces that the company has SIP-enabled more than 70,000 enterprise users - including remote workers, home office users, and employees of businesses small, medium and large - worldwide.

Ingate's products help businesses reap the benefits of VoIP, instant messaging, and a host of person-to-person communications based on SIP, today's standard protocol for IP realtime communications. The company's fully SIP-capable firewall and SIParator® products currently protect the networks of retail companies, financial institutions, industrial firms, government agencies and enterprises throughout Europe, Asia and North America.

"We've seen tremendous interest from businesses that want to leverage the productivity and cost-savings advantages that SIP-based communications has to offer, most recently in the European market," said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate Systems. "Our reputation for innovative, reliable products that work seamlessly with those from the world's leading technology vendors is a significant advantage for our customers."

For enterprise LANs protected by existing firewalls not capable of handling SIP-based communications between the LAN and the outside world, Ingate also produces and sells the Ingate SIParator®, a device that works in conjunction with an existing network firewall to enable the traversal of SIP communications.

Westerberg added, "Live SIP-based person-to-person communications are expected to create the next major wave of Internet usage after email and the Web. However, SIP-based communications do not reach users behind firewalls and NATs automatically. Ingate's fully SIP-capable firewalls solve this problem. In this world of global connectivity, every firewall will have to be SIP-capable to meet the needs of the growing enterprise user base."
