INGATE® UNVEILS SIPARATOR 20

Award-Winning SIP Appliance Targets Small Businesses

FALL VON, BOSTON (PRWEB) September 26, 2003 -- Ingate® Systems (www.ingate.com), the leading supplier of SIP-capable enterprise firewalls, introduces the Ingate® SIParatorTM 20, a new addition to the companys extensive line of SIP-enabling firewall products.

The Ingate® SIParator 20 is a device that connects to an existing network firewall to seamlessly enable the traversal of SIP-based communications. Unlike Ingates® current SIParator products, the SIParator 20 is made specifically for small businesses looking to SIP-enable their network quickly and at unprecedented value. Once connected to the existing enterprise structure, the Ingate® SIParator 20 will allow even the smallest company to utilize SIP applications such as Internet telephony or VoIP, instant messaging, presence, video or any number of SIP-based real-time communications.

In addition, because the Ingate® SIParator 20 integrates with security architecture already in-place, small businesses can reap the benefits of SIP-based communications without losing previous investments in firewall security. Ingates® line of SIParator products was named Product of the Year" by Internet Telephony magazine in December 2002.

The SIParator 20 is available now in the U.S. The list price is $1,650.

Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, has become the gold standard for real-time person-to-person communications. Businesses of all sizes are recognizing the need to leverage SIP-based applications in order to remain competitive in todays aggressive business environment. With the SIParator 20, Ingate® offers this advantage to even the smallest of businesses," said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate® Systems.

Measuring 8.7x10x1.7 inches, the Ingate® SIParator 20 is the smallest in Ingates® family of SIParatorTM products. It boasts a VIA C3,533 processor, has two ports at 10/100 Mbit/s, and comes with ten SIP user licenses and can incorporate a maximum of 400. Initial RTP is 50.
All Ingate® products share the same software platform; software is upgraded at no cost.

It also contains a SIP registrar, which manages SIP user and domain registration, and a SIP proxy. Ingate® software supports NAT and PAT and delivers TLS support for encrypted SIP signaling, eliminating the security concerns most often associated with enterprise instant messaging.
