== Products ==

Ingate has a line of enterprise [[Session border controller]]s ranging from home and SOHO usage to enterprise and telecom service provider usage of up to 8 20,000 concurrent telephone calls.<ref>{{cite web |url= httphttps://www.ingate.com/Productsheets.php session-border-controller-sbc|title=Ingate Product SheetsProducts|publisher=Ingate}}</ref>

Line 75 ⟶ 70:

The Ingate products are all based on an SBC architecture where an [[IETF]] RFC 3261-compliant SIP proxy controls the [[Network address translation|NAT]] and firewall engine to route all types of media between parties on both public and private IP networks. All products include a routing SIP Proxy and a SIP registrar, and when required a SIP [[Back-to-back user agent]] (B2BUA), and can in addition to security at the enterprise edge, also do accounting by reporting usage in [[Call Detail Record]]s. The Ingate products are not limited to [[VoIP]] but support full UC or multimedia real-time communication, and can route such communication over the Internet with or without service provider involvement.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.ingate.com/Products.php |title=Ingate Products|publisher=Ingate}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ingate.com/files/An_Internet+_Model_For_Global_Unified_Communication.pdf |title= Internet+, The Way Toward Global Unified Communication and Replacing the Telephone Network|publisher=Ingate, Intertex}}</ref>
