Ingate(R) Systems Awarded "Best of Show" at Internet Telephony(R) Conference & Expo Miami 2005

VoIP Survival Singled Out for Innovation at Leading VoIP Event

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 Ingate VoIP Survival has been named a "Best of Show" winner at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)'s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and EXPO Miami 2005.

Ingate VoIP Survival secures full redundancy in a SIP-based IP hosted environment all the way out to the customer premises. It is designed specifically for hosted VoIP communications services, assuring continued communications even if the hosted server goes out of service due to connection failure or malfunction.

Ingate VoIP Survival offers the benefits of traditional outsourcing while securing the availability of one of the most mission-critical applications for businesses today. In addition, VoIP Survival maintains vital perimeter control and security at the enterprise. These functionalities minimize risk and encourage enterprises to move to VoIP to gain the cost and productivity benefits of hosted voice communications.

Features include automatic detection if the hosted server goes down, take-over of the VoIP service using dynamically downloaded user and control data. Calls can also be routed to a back-up PSTN gateway on the LAN or at another service provider. This increased availability means that unnecessary downtime is minimized.

Ingate VoIP Survival is available for all Ingate Firewalls® and Ingate SIParators®.

"We are honored to be recognized by TMC with the 'Best of Show' award," said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate Systems. "It is a tribute to the culture of innovation at Ingate, as we pride ourselves in bringing the very best in next-generation firewall technology to our customers."
