net.com Announces Enhancements to ShoutIP for Even More Elegant
VoIP Migration
New Features Advance VoIP Capabilities for Enterprise, Carrier and Government
Customers
BOSTON, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- net.com (NYSE:NWK) today announced
new features for its ShoutIP platform for IP telephony, continuing to build on
its industry-leading voice migration solution.
Network address translation (NAT) traversal, a challenge for all Voice over
Internet protocol (VoIP) networks both in the enterprise and carrier space, is
addressed in this release to prevent IP-based voice calls from being blocked by
an enterprise firewall. ShoutIP modifies VoIP signaling (SIP and H.323) to
ensure a call passes through the NAT correctly. This intelligent relay method
enables ShoutIP to work with all types of NAT.
ShoutIP also now includes SIP (session initiation protocol) registration for
enhanced session border control between SIP-enabled telephones and an
enterprise IP PBX, or carrier IP Centrex server. This enables SIP phones in a
private network to work with an external proxy in the public network. With SIP
registration, ShoutIP enables "round-trip" functionality as it generates and
sends registration and invitation requests to the external registrar, or proxy,
and authenticates invitations on the return side. This enhancement also
dramatically reduces the number of registration entries the network operator is
required to make when provisioning VoIP services.
Netmarks, one of Japan's largest voice over IP integrators, is currently
exploring these capabilities for both enterprise located equipment and within
the service provider network.
According to Stephen Gleave, Vice President of Marketing at net.com, "The
company has long been a proponent of migration over 'rip and replace,' a path
that is just not practical for most large enterprises. A migration plan enables
customers to leverage existing assets while moving forward to achieve cost
savings and deploy new IP functionality long before assets have been written
off. This release provides our customers with an even richer feature-set that
overcomes some of the challenges to migration."
ShoutIP is a family of advanced voice and data networking products that
provides an advanced solution for the customer who wishes to migrate to IP. The
platform has a unique, distributed architecture that consolidates multiple
telephony functions into a single managed platform that supports switching,
compression, IVR (interactive voice response), secure voice relay support and
PSTN-to-packet gateway functions, eliminating the overhead of multiple devices.
As a result, the platform enables enterprises, government agencies and service
providers to build IP networks that are scalable, secure and cost effective.
The latest release of ShoutIP also offers features specific to government
customers and other enterprises requiring secure voice over IP capabilities.
These features include a synchronous serial interface that extends connectivity
options into other devices, including modems with serial interfaces and radios.
ShoutIP also offers basic rate interface (BRI) connectivity to INMARSAT
satellite communications gear.
Additionally, this release of ShoutIP also supports SS7 signaling for carriers.
Telefonica Argentina has recently certified ShoutIP for SS7 connectivity,
announced separately today.
