IPtimize Deploys Kagoor Networks To Provide Managed VoIP Services over Broadband

Kagoor's Session Border Controllers Enable BYOB (Bring Your Own Broadband) VoIP for IPtimize Business Customers

San Mateo, CA and Denver, CO. – November 22, 2004 – Kagoor Networks announced today that IPtimize, Inc., a Managed VoIP Services provider serving small- and medium-size enterprises, has deployed Kagoor's VoiceFlow session border controllers to deliver managed VoIP service to enterprises. By deploying Kagoor’s VoIP over Broadband (VoBB) solution, IPtimize can leverage a client's existing broadband Internet connection to securely deliver local and long-distance voice services, along with easy-to-use, business-enabling applications.

As deployed by IPtimize, Kagoor's VoBB solution improves the efficiencies of service operation management by completely eliminating Internet Protocol address issues, and providing call monitoring, and statistics gathering. The VoiceFlow platform gives IPtimize the flexibility to direct customer traffic to different service platforms, allowing it to meet a variety of call-routing requirements. It also provides IPtimize with hosted Network Address Translation (NAT) and network protection solutions, which include advanced security features, such as topology hiding and protection from denial of service attacks.

IPtimize's Voice Pilot is a managed VoIP service designed to lower costs, improve productivity, simplify administration and mitigate technology risks on behalf of businesses. Voice Pilot employs IPtimize’s hosted IP telephony platform using an existing broadband connection to send voice traffic over a data network, instead of the circuit-switched environment of the legacy PSTN. "Getting 'IPtimized' means clients enjoy all of the latest business-enabling applications, such as VoIP, without having to worry about managing the technology supporting these applications," noted John R. Evans, chief executive officer and chairman of IPtimize.

"The Kagoor VoIP over Broadband solution allows IPtimize to offer Voice Pilot with its other Managed LAN Services to any customer with a broadband Internet connection, thus supporting our BYOB ("bring your own broadband") strategy," said Robert Flood, chief technology officer at IPtimize . "It allows strong security for customers without a special security policy at the user site."

With approximately 100 worldwide customer deployments, Kagoor's award winning VoiceFlow series is the most powerful, and scalable family of carrier-grade session border controllers. VoiceFlow is the leading solution for hosted NAT traversal, hosted VPN/VLAN address translation, and network protection for hosted IP telephony services like IP Centrex and managed IP PBX.

"Enterprises rely on IPtimize's VoIP expertise to improve productivity, and find better ways to communicate with their customers," said Opher Kahane, CEO and co-founder of Kagoor Networks. "Kagoor is pleased that IPtimize is relying on our session border control expertise to provide its business-class service."
