CommWorks and Kagoor Partner on VoIP Security

CommWorks and Kagoor Networks completed interoperability testing between the CommWorks IP telephony system and Kagoor's VoiceFlow VoIP border control platform. The testing involved Kagoor's VoiceFlow 1000 VoIP demarcation functionality in both enterprise CPE and carrier network-hosted configurations and CommWorks equipment for IP telephony applications, including the Total Control 1000 Media Gateway and elements of the CommWorks Softswitch. Products were tested using both the H.323 communications protocol and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The CommWorks 4205 Protocol Mediator facilitated the completion of calls between H.323 and SIP networks. CommWorks and Kagoor Networks are working together to market the combined solution to service providers for delivering basic or enhanced voice to enterprise customers. The CommWorks media gateway would provide connectivity between the PSTN and IP networks. The CommWorks Softswitch would provide call control, signaling and application and service creation. Kagoor's VoiceFlow platform would reside at either the edge of the service provider's network or at the enterprise customer's premise, allowing IP phones to traverse NAT and firewall boundaries and access advanced calling features.
