Ingate and LignUp Provide Secure SIP Firewall Solutions for Enterprises
Deploying SIP-Based Business Communications
STOCKHOLM, Sweden and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 18
/PRNewswire/ -- Ingate Systems AB, which produces and sells the world's only
fully Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-capable enterprise firewalls, and
LignUp Corporation, a leading provider of SIP-based voice applications and
software infrastructure for the enterprise, today announced that the two
companies have completed interoperability testing with LignUp ProPBX, a
software-only SIP-PBX, and Ingate Firewall(R) and Ingate SIParator(R)
products. LignUp will showcase an integrated Ingate-LignUp VoIP platform
solution in the LignUp Hospitality Suite, in the Kent Room of the Sheraton
Boston Hotel, during this week's Fall VON 2004 Conference and Exposition in
Boston, MA.
"The completion of interoperability testing between LignUp and Ingate
products represents a milestone for companies that want to leverage VoIP, IM
and other SIP-based applications," said Steve Johnson, President, Ingate
Systems. "SIP-based communications do not reach users behind firewalls and
NATs automatically. Ingate's fully SIP-capable firewalls solve this problem.
These interoperable solutions offer customers a truly complete end-to-end
solution."
"This interoperability effort with Ingate demonstrates LignUp's commitment
to delivering secure VoIP solutions built on the open SIP industry standard,"
said Kevin Nethercott, President and COO, LignUp Corp. "By integrating these
SIP-enabled LignUp-Ingate solutions, customers can realize the VoIP benefits
of reduced costs, improved productivity, and enhanced business processes, with
the confidence that business-critical, network assets are protected. LignUp
will continue to work with leading providers of SIP devices so that
enterprises can deploy solutions that best meet their needs."
Ingate's Firewalls and SIParator products allow the enterprise to quickly
add support for real-time communications based on SIP, the standard protocol
for VoIP, instant messaging, presence and a host of person-to-person
applications. The SIParator, a device that connects to an existing network
firewall to seamlessly enable the traversal of SIP communications, earned
Internet Telephony magazine's Product of the Year Award in 2002 and again in
2003. LignUp's portfolio of solutions includes SIP-PBX, SIP-Centrex, Voice
Mail, Unified Messaging and Outbound Calling applications developed on the
LignUp Communications Infrastructure. The software only, standards-based, web
services-oriented LignUp Communications Infrastructure enables cost-effective
development and fast deployment of multiple voice and voice-enabled business
applications on a common communications platform.
