Kagoor Delivers Session Border Control Solution for Voice Over Broadband; Supports Carriers and MSOs VoIP Deployments for Cable and xDSL.SAN MATEO San Mateo (săn mətā`ō), city (1990 pop. 85,486), San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1894. It is a commercial and retail center with some high-technology manufacturing. San Mateo, Spanish for St. , Calif. -- Kagoor Networks, a leader in session border control solutions, today announced its Voice over Broadband (VoBB) solution to enable MSOs and Carriers to securely and seamlessly deliver VoIP via cable and xDSL. Kagoor's VoiceFlow series of session border controllers are being deployed to address NAT traversal Passing through network address translation (NAT) to reach a user. NAT hides private IP addresses from the public Internet; however, voice over IP (VoIP) and videoconferencing calls that originate from outside the network must locate the user's IP address. See STUN, UPnP and NAT. , security and peering requirements in the rapidly evolving VoBB marketplace. Kagoor is the established leader in carrier to customer session border control applications and is further extending this market leadership into the cable/MSO market arena. Leading carriers and MSOs are utilizing Kagoor's VoBB solution to serve their residential and small business cable and xDSL customers. Today, in a separate announcement, Kagoor announced that the solution was deployed by Kintetsu Cable Network (KCN KCN Potassium Cyanide KCN Kingdom Community Network KCN Key Conversion Notice (telecommunications/encryption) KCN Kit Configuration Notice ) to deliver VoIP via cable and ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (see Kagoor Networks' Session Border Controllers Deployed by Kintetsu Cable Network in Japan). This is the first announced deployment of session border controllers in a VoIP cable network. Telco service providers, including Covad, Reynwood Communications, USA Datanet and Elitel are deploying Kagoor's VoiceFlow to deliver VoIP to their broadband customers. The VoiceFlow VoBB solution for cable providers is compatible with the CableLabs PacketCable network architecture and supports its Call Management Server Signaling (CMSS CMSS Creative Multi-Speaker Surround CMSS Council of Medical Specialty Societies CMSS Call Management Server Signaling CMSS Capital Markets Surveillance Services (Sydney, Australia) CMSS Configuration Management Support System ) 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 (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. interfaces. VoiceFlow also supports the Network-based Call signaling The call signaling protocol is one layer of the overall PacketCable suite of specifications and relies upon companion protocol specifications to provide complete end-to-end PacketCable functionality (NCS (Network Call Signaling) CableLabs version of MGCP.

"VoBB will be a key area in the growth of VoIP," said Jon Arnold, voice-over-packet program leader for Frost & Sullivan. "MSOs will use VoBB service as a key competitive advantage against the Telcos and satellite providers. Session border controllers like Kagoor's VoiceFlow series will play an important role in the growth of this important market." The VoBB solution incorporates Kagoor's unique 3-Way Architecture, its carrier VoiceFlow 3000 and 1000 series products for both peering and line-side applications to maximize functionality and interoperability. The VoiceFlow series improves the efficiencies of the service operation management by completely eliminating Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP.
