The SIParator works seamlessly with your existing firewall to allow the flow of the SIP traffic. While traditional firewalls block SIP traffic – including mission-critical applications like VoIP – the SIParator resolves this problem, working in tandem with your current security solutions.

It also solves the Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal issues inherent in SIP communications, and offers both far- and near-end NAT traversal to extend the SIP capabilities within the corporate network to remote workers.

With Ingate products, enterprises can use VoIP and other live communications on the LAN and globally over the Internet or private IP networks.

The Ingate SIParator 18 has three ports and offers a 30 Mbit/s throughput. Small and versatile, the 18 is perfect for smaller office environments – with no fan; the SIParator is virtually silent, which means there’s no need for a separate server room. The management interface for the products is the same Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) that has been cited by Ingate customers and the media for ease-of-use.

Included with the Ingate SIParator 18 are ten SIP user licenses that can be used for the registration of SIP users on the built-in SIP registrar. Five SIP traversal licenses are also included, allowing up to five calls to traverse at the same time. Additional SIP user and traversal licenses can be purchased at any time.

All Ingate SIParators are fully featured and can be maintained by the network security administrator utilizing the GUI. Ingate SIParators include an encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) termination module. The SIParator 18 can be configured as a part of the DMZ or in a standalone mode. In both cases, the benefits of SIP-based communications can be added to the network quickly and easily.

Choose the Right Features for Your Network

Ingate offers several add-on software modules that allow you to tailor the SIParators to meet the specific demands of your business. Ingate Quality of Service (QoS) sets priorities to different kinds of data and allocates bandwidth for varied purposes – for instance, giving priority to VoIP.

Ingate Remote SIP Connectivity extends the SIP capabilities of the enterprise to employees working remotely (home office workers, road warriors, etc.). Remote SIP Connectivity manages the traversal of the remote NAT from a central place and also includes a STUN server. Ingate VoIP Survival software module adds a whole new dimension to the hosted VoIP service by securing full redundancy in a SIP-based hosted IP-PBX environment all the way out to the customer premise. It serves as a customer premise backup to enhance the reliability and availability of a VoIP application platform.

Add Global VoIP Connectivity to your IP-PBX

The SIParator 18 opens up a world of possibilities and cost savings when used with a SIP based IP-PBX. Businesses can route telephone calls via IP, not only between branch offices and home workers, but also to offices and other users using SIP-based Internet telephony. No longer limited to telephony voice, communication can also include video, instant messaging, presence and more.

In addition, the SIParator 18 makes it possible for home workers, road warriors and even branch offices to belong the same central IP-PBX - with the highest level of security. The SIParator also affords the possibility to set up a private VoIP network, if preferred. Advanced IP-PBX functions are supported, including such as call transfer, call hold, and voicemail.

Do More with Microsoft LCS 2005

Adding value to Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005, Ingate SIParators allow voice and video applications to work outside the LAN. In addition, Ingate makes LCS available to mobile users through Remote SIP Connectivity.

Trusted Network Security for VoIP

The Ingate SIParator SIP Proxy architecture grants fully secure traversal of the SIP traffic. The ports for the media streams are only opened between the specific parties of a call and only for the duration of the call. The SIP proxy inspects the SIP packets before sending them on. TLS encryption ensures privacy when communicating, making call eavesdropping, call hijacking and call spoofing harder to do. Ingate also supports authentication of users and servers.

Free Software Upgrades for the First Year

The Ingate SIParator 18 has no data user restrictions. Software upgrades are free for the first year. Thereafter, an annual licensing fee will apply. New software versions can be downloaded quickly and easily online from the Ingate website.
