VoiceFlow1000 Expedites Delivery of VoIP Services to Residential Customers
SAN MATEO, CA and GOLDEN, CO – June 2, 2004 – Kagoor Networks, a leading
provider of session border control solutions, announced today that New Global
Telecom (NGT), the leading U.S. provider of outsourced switching and network
operations services, has deployed Kagoor’s VoiceFlow 1000 Session
Border Controller. NGT is deploying the VoiceFlow 1000 with the NAT (Network
Address Translator) application to provide Hosted NAT Traversal, which is helping
to expedite the delivery of VoIP to residential end-users through NGT’s service
provider customers.
Without Hosted NAT Traversal, NGT was unable to economically and easily provide
VoIP services to remotely located users. Hosted NAT traversal permits VoIP calls
to securely travel across the Internet and through the NAT device on the customer
site. The VoiceFlow 1000 solves the NAT Traversal problem and greatly
simplifies the configuration of Internet Telephones behind NAT devices like
cable and DSL modems. Kagoor also provides NGT with security by hiding details
of its network behind the VoiceFlow 1000.
"Kagoor helps New Global Telecom deliver the benefits of VoIP to our clients
and, in turn, to their residential customers,” said Perry Nelson, VP - VoIP
Operations & Technology for New Global Telecom. “By enabling NAT traversal
and optimizing handling of the signaling, Kagoor provides us with a simple and
flexible solution that ensures efficiency of network transport.”
NGT’s outsourced wholesale IP services suite - 6DegreesIP – offers a turnkey
solution for service providers seeking entry into the VoIP marketplace. 6DegreesIP
includes Hosted IP PBX and Class 5 feature services, end-customer support, network
and facilities management, back office support as well as local and long-distance
origination / termination in hundreds of U.S. cities.
Using Kagoor’s VoiceFlow solution, NGT’s services can be delivered with
minimal configuration to the customer VoIP endpoints (e.g., IP phones, analog
devices, etc.) and without any changes to existing data firewall/NAT equipment
at the customer site. “Our VoiceFlow NAT traversal solution is designed
to meet the needs of providers of hosted VoIP services such as New Global Telecom,”
stated Opher Kahane, CEO and co-Founder of Kagoor Networks. “Kagoor is excited
to be a key ingredient in NGT’s innovative VoIP service delivery to the residential
marketplace.”
The VoiceFlow 1000 series and the VoiceFlow 3000 series make
up Kagoor’s carrier family of session border controllers. VoiceFlow 1000
is a 1U, fast Ethernet packet processing device capable of handling up to 2,000
concurrent VoIP calls. It provides for simultaneous operation of multiple session
border control applications. VoiceFlow is network transparent and handles
all of the popular VoIP protocols including SIP, H.323, MGCP and others. VoiceFlow
1000 is ideal for VoIP service provider deployments and distributed carrier
locations.
