Tadiran Announces Coral(R) Sentinel Pro for VoIP Security


PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. --(Business Wire)-- Tadiran Telecom(R), a leading global IP business telephone and communications solutions provider, today announced its latest VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) security product, Coral(R) Sentinel Pro, which addresses data security issues associated with VoIP phone calls.



This week at ISC East, a leading security conference being held on September 11-12 at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center in New York, Tadiran plans to demonstrate the Coral Sentinel Pro product in its booth #855. Coral Sentinel Pro is a SIP-compliant Session Boarder Controller (SBC) unit that allows Tadiran's IP/VoIP business telephones to work anywhere, without sacrificing an organization's data security.

"When it comes to security, corporate and government enterprises today are faced with some very tough decisions that will have major affects on their overall IP implementation strategies, including VoIP," said Tadiran's Chief Technology Officer Gil Zaidman. "New voice and video services over the LAN and WAN allow small offices, branches or employees working from home to seamlessly communicate using VoIP technology. Unfortunately, the protocols used to enable these services conflict with two of the most notable network security mechanism: Fire walls and NATs."


According to a March 2007 report from analyst firm In-Stat, across all sizes of business, implementing IP convergence/VoIP is among the highest telecom priorities in 2007. The report also stated that the drive in demand for IP solutions will also drive the need for VoIP security solutions. Tadiran is helping businesses and organizations of all sizes migrate to the world of IP in stages, all while continuing to leverage existing networks and legacy investments, and avoiding network data security issues.

Zaidman continued, "Our Coral Sentinel Pro is a unique Session Boarder Controller unit that provides an additional security level along with fire walls. It also allows NAT traversal between different LANs. Now our customers can take their IP phones anywhere to make calls without any security concerns and without the need for VPN connections."

At ISC East in booth #855, Tadiran will demonstrate its entire line of VoIP Security and IP Telephony products (see separate release), including the Coral Sentinel Pro. The Coral Sentinel Pro is a SIP-compliant Session Boarder Controller (SBC) unit that enables the connection of remote IP Tadiran business phones located behind NAT (Network Address Translation) servers or fire walls. The Coral Sentinel Pro removes VoIP security issues by transferring signals and RTP traffic through the fire wall or NAT server to the relevant endpoints in the LAN network. With Coral Sentinel Pro, no permanent channels are opened up to transmit and receive calls, ensuring the organization's data is secure.
