BandTel, Pingtel and Ingate Team to Deliver Turnkey SIP Trunking Solution

By Patrick Barnard, Group Managing Editor, TMCnet


SIP Trunking services provider BandTel announced this week that it has teamed up with Pingtel, a leader in open source SIP-based IP PBX (News - Alert) solutions, and Ingate Systems, which develops firewall technology and products that enable SIP-based live communication, to deliver a bundled SIP-Trunking solution designed to enable faster, smoother and more reliable deployment of SIP trunks for VARs and enterprises.


BandTel (News - Alert) claims the integrated solution delivers “the security, redundancy, interoperability, and scalability demanded in mission critical environments.”

By combining BandTel’s Virtual Central Office (VCO) SIP-based trunking for domestic and International calling service, Pingtel’s (News - Alert) SIPxchange ECS 250 SIP-based IP PBX, and the Ingate SIParator 45 - a device that connects to an existing network firewall to enable SIP communications - the companies have delivered a turnkey solution that delivers better quality of service, improved security and increased scalability.

“As IP Telephony gains momentum in the enterprise market, it is essential for solution providers to be able to offer a solution that removes the complexities of VoIP deployment, such as security, reliability and interoperability – especially in legacy environments,” stated Bryan Renner, director of business development at BandTel, in a press release. “By combining our fail-safe SIP Trunking architecture with Pingtel’s robust open source PBX solution and Ingate’s NAT traversal and remote connectivity solution, we are providing a best-of-breed, turn-key solution at a very low price and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but with a very fast return on investment.”

BandTel’s VCO sports its N-Plus architecture and is designed to solve the throughput and redundancy problems on high capacity SIP-based networks. The company’s “flawless” VoIP service is rich with features and lets enterprises use existing infrastructure, thus minimizing capital outlay.

Ingate’s popular SIParator solves NAT traversal issues associated with SIP communications and handles the routing of SIP signaling and media streams to and from the private IP addresses of authorized users on the LAN. In addition to boasting a SIP registrar and full SIP proxy, SIParator supports NAT, PAT and TLS for encrypted SIP signaling.

“SIP trunking provides a very high ROI for enterprises very quickly,” said Steven Johnson, president, Ingate Systems (News - Alert). “This bundle simplifies the process of deploying SIP trunks, with a single solution with proven interoperability at low risk.”

Pingtel’s SIPxchange Enterprise Communications (News - Alert) Server – the PBX for Linux – is a full featured, enterprise-class IP PBX solution that does not require special hardware. It is the only solution based wholly on the SIP standard and is fully interoperable with SIP phones, gateways and trunking services.

“We have always understood the need for an IP Telephony system that offers the features, reliability, and flexibility commonly found in high-cost solutions, yet at a cost that fits any IT budget,” said Martin Steinmann, SVP of Marketing at Pingtel. “By working with Ingate and BandTel, we are delivering a cost-effective solution that incorporates the best voice quality, high availability, seamless integration and interoperability into an existing IT environment, and lowest TCO the industry has to offer.”

BandTel is exhibiting its solutions this week at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & Expo, WEST in San Diego. In addition, Ingate sponsored a workshop outlining the benefits of SIP trunking for enterprises that have deployed IP communications during the four-day event, which ends today.
