Kagoor Scales its Session Controller to Over 100,000 Concurrent Calls

Kagoor Networks introduced its new carrier-grade VoiceFlow 4000 session border controller, which is capable of carrying more than 100,000 concurrent calls and delivering 750 calls per second (CPS), all in a single system. Kagoor said its VoiceFlow 4000 offers carrier-grade reliability and is able to fit in carrier network locations where other larger, but less powerful units cannot. Six available (out of eight total) slots can be populated by signaling and/or media cards, which can be variably configured. Key features of VoiceFlow 4000 include topology hiding, denial of service (DoS) protection, media firewall, optimized media routing, service level agreement (SLA) reporting, and firewall pinhole maintenance. It also provides bandwidth utilization management, concurrent call limiting, E911, protocol translation, admission control, call routing and load balancing, lawful interception and regulatory compliance applications. Target customers include Tier 1 carriers and service providers, Tier 2 service providers with sizable networks and large MSOs, mobile carriers, and ISPs. VoiceFlow 4000 is beginning customer trials in Q4, 2004, and will be generally available starting in Q1, 2005. http://www.kagoor.com
