Ingate^® Systems Named a Top Vendor by Service Provider Weekly

Stockholm– December 18, 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, has been named to Service Provider Weekly’s “Top 50 Vendors” list. The list recognizes leading vendors providing unique and innovative technologies that benefit service providers.

This is the second time Ingate has been honored as a “Top 50 Vendor” by Service Provider Weekly, a worldwide newsweekly Internet publication covering the service provider market on a global scale.

Ingate’s award-winning Ingate Firewall® and Ingate SIParator® products allow businesses to use VoIP and all other forms of SIP-based communication by solving the Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal issues with the protocol, while maintaining the security and integrity of the enterprise network. They also enable SIP trunking, a new application that many service providers offer and that rapidly reduces costs by eliminating the need for an enterprise PSTN gateway, unused BRI/PRI capacity, expensive and underutilized phone lines or trunks at remote offices, and by providing PSTN termination in the local area.

“An elegant solution to NAT traversal, Ingate Firewalls and SIParators provide a necessary component for service providers as they roll out enterprise SIP-based VoIP,” said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate Systems. “We are delighted to be named once again to the ‘Top 50 Vendors’ list.”

Ingate’s innovative software modules help businesses maximize the benefits of SIP communications. Ingate’s Startup Tool simplifies SIP trunk deployments by automatically configuring a user’s Ingate Firewall or SIParator to create a SIP trunk tailored to the individual setup. Additionally, Ingate offers award-winning remote connectivity solutions that extend the SIP capabilities of a corporate network to remote workers.

Ingate products also feature the company’s SIP proxy technology, for an unprecedented level of control over the flow of SIP traffic. The SIP proxy provides advanced filtering, verification and routing, as well as dynamic control of the opening and closing of media ports. Ingate products support encryption using Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Realtime Transfer Protocol (SRTP).

“Ingate consistently produces new and innovative solutions for enabling realtime SIP-based communications, helping service providers deliver their products faster, easier and leveraging the maximum in security,” said Ken Durham, Editor, Service Provider Weekly. “Ingate’s work in developing SIP trunk solutions is another reason why the company is a clear industry leader.”
