In yet another move that signals the networking world’s embrace of on-demand resources, Ingate Systems (News - Alert) has come out with the RevUp program. This initiative enables network operators to add SIParator session border controller capacity, session licenses, and software modules remotely and as needed by simply calling or sending Ingate an email with that request.

“Business moves too fast to wait for a new hardware box or new software to arrive in the mail,” said CEO Michael Oljemark. “With Ingate, customers can access the tools they need when they need them.”

For example, a company might opt to leverage RevUp to upgrade its existing SIParator 51 to SIParator 66 functionality in an effort to support 1,000 simultaneous calls or RTP sessions, Ingate explained.

Ingate E-SBCs make it easy to deploy SIP trunks and UC applications. The Ingate SIParator is a cost-effective E-SBC that is interoperable with major IP PBXs and SIP trunking service providers. Ingate’s SIP Trunking Startup Tool configures the SIParator in three easy steps, so enterprises can leverage the economic and productivity benefits available with SIP trunking immediately.

For service providers, Ingate products offer a high-quality, reliable SIP trunk demarcation point between the customer’s IP PBX (News - Alert) and the service provider network. Ingate solves interoperability issues to simplify deployments, and supports remote diagnosis of reported issues. Placed at the customer edge, Ingate provides secure firewall traversal, diagnostics and security to simplify SIP trunk implementations whether over a managed connection or the public Internet.

Ingate products are available as appliances and software deliverables and can support up to 10,000 sessions. Ingate’s WebRTC & SIP PBX Companion integrates the PBX, call center, and UC infrastructure with WebRTC. It includes Ingate’s Q-TURN technology, enabling WebRTC’s video and audio to be delivered with high quality into the enterprise LAN. Q-TURN incorporates a TURN server in the SIParators so that enterprises can control access to their network and enable packet tagging for WebRTC quality of service.
