  • Kagoor is headquartered in San Mateo, California, and manages an R&D facility in Herzeliya, Israel.


  • In August, 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. The 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.
