Ingate Systems,firewall technology developer providing services for SIP-based and Unified Communications (News - Alert), plans to provide a Service Provider Pre-Conference Workshop at ITEXPO East 2011. The Pre-Conference Workshop, “The Case for SIP Trunking and Unified Communications: How to Minimize Deployment Costs and Maximize Revenue,” offers free registration to all ITEXPO (News - Alert) attendees and will be tailored specifically to meet the needs of the audience using how-to sessions and case studies.

Commenting on the event to be held Feb. 1, Steven Johnson, president of Ingate Systems (News - Alert), said, “SIP trunking and Unified Communications offer carriers an unprecedented opportunity to expand their business and reduce overall expenses. To-date there’s been a dearth of information for service providers. The new Service Provider Pre-Conference workshop will offer insights….If you’re a service provider and you’re not leveraging SIP trunking and UC, your competition will.”

Recently, TMC’s group editorial director, Erik Linask, sat down with Steve Johnson (News - Alert), president of Ingate Systems, to discuss the role that an enterprise session border controller (E-SBCs) plays within the demarcation point, providing the handoff in delivery of service, whether it be SIP or VoIP. This talk was part of the Ingate Knowledge Base series, which focuses on everything related to Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) (SIP), or a signaling protocol for telephony, telepresence, conferencing, and more.
