Kagoor Announces Voice over Broadband Session Border Controllers

Kagoor Networks introduced its Voice over Broadband (VoBB) solution to enable MSOs and carriers to securely and seamlessly deliver VoIP via cable and xDSL. Kagoor' VoiceFlow series of session border controllers are already used extensively in carrier to customer applications. The product line has now been extended to address NAT traversal, security and peering requirements in the rapidly evolving VoBB marketplace.



Kagoor's VoiceFlow VoBB solution for cable providers is compatible with the CableLabs PacketCable network architecture and supports its Call Management Server Signaling (CMSS) protocol specification based on the SIP protocol. This provides cable operators with the ability to exchange packet-based voice and other real-time multimedia applications with other cable operators and IP carriers, without requiring that the traffic first be terminated to TDM interfaces. VoiceFlow also supports the Network-based Call signaling (NCS) protocol for communicating signaling information between the endpoint and a CMS. MSOs are utilizing both protocols to deploy and deliver VoBB service.



The Kagoor solution has been deployed by Kintetsu Cable Network (KCN) to deliver VoIP via cable and ADSL in Japan. Kagoor partnered with NEC to implement the solution for KCN. NEC is a worldwide reseller of Kagoor's VoiceFlow series. KCN plans to start delivering the IP telephony services that utilize this solution by the end of the summer.



In addition, telco service providers, including Covad, Reynwood Communications, USA Datanet and Elitel are deploying Kagoor's VoiceFlow to deliver VoIP to their broadband customers. http://www.kagoor.com
