Ingate Launches SIP Trunking Configuration Tool

A Plug-and-Play Solution to Simplify SIP Trunk Deployments

VOICECONSPRING, ORLANDO – March 5, 2007 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, announces the Ingate SIP Trunking Configuration Tool, an installation tool for Ingate Firewall® and Ingate SIParator® products that facilitates the set-up of SIP trunking solutions.

Designed to simplify SIP trunk deployments, the tool will automatically configure a user’s Ingate Firewall or SIParator to work with the IP-PBX and SIP trunking service provider of their choice. With the push of a button, the configuration tool will automatically create a SIP trunk deployment designed to the user’s individual setup.

Users can select, from a drop-down menu, their IP-PBX and Internet telephony service provider (ITSP); the configuration tool will automatically apply the correct settings to the Ingate Firewall or SIParator to work seamlessly with that vendor or service provider. A list of IP-PBX’s and SIP trunking service providers that have been shown to interoperate with Ingate products is incorporated into the interface.

“The Ingate SIP Trunking configuration tool will ease SIP trunk deployments for Ingate customers,” said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate Systems. “This configuration tool is a result of extensive interoperability testing efforts. Our customers truly benefit from these interoperability relationships, as they continue to leverage new IP applications and look to all of us in the industry to develop products that work well together and help future-proof their network.”

The configuration tool currently features leading IP-PBX vendors including 3Com, Digium/Asterisk, Mitel and Pingtel. It also includes leading ITSPs such as BandTel, Bandwidth.com, IP-Only and VoEX. The full list of IP-PBX vendors and service providers is available on the configuration tool and on the Ingate Website. It will continue to grow as Ingate completes interoperability testing with additional SIP trunking-related businesses.

The configuration tool is available now as a free download for all Ingate Firewalls and SIParators. It can be found here.
