Ingate Systems Launches MEDIAtor, Enabling SIP-Based Communications for Remote Users

Ingate Systems has launched the MEDIAtor, a configuration of the Ingate SIParator, which enables companies to support media traversal for Federated and Remote users on Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) Access Proxy. This innovation extends the use of Live Communications functions, including Internet telephony and video, even for enterprises using an Access Proxy outside the company or Local Area Network (LAN). The MEDIAtor, in combination with the Ingate Remote SIP Connectivity software module, allows remote employees and branch offices to leverage the productivity-enhancing benefits of SIP-based communications from any location with internet access.
