Security software specialist Intoto has announced Q4, 2003 availability of iGateway SecureICP integrated communications platform (ICP), an all-in-one software solution for OEMs building integrated access devices (IADs), IP PBXs, voice gateways, and media gateways based on Intel's IXP4XX processors. iGateway SecureICP runs on Linux as well as VxWorks and pSOS.

iGateway SecureICP supports highly interoperable and standards-based stateful SIP gateway (compliant with RFC 3261) with call processing engine, SDP, RTP/RTCP, and generic DS-0/Trunk interface, according to Intoto. The software offers services such as caller-ID, wake up, phone book, last number redial, outgoing call screening/dynamic service restriction, hotline (both immediate and delayed), call waiting, call-holding, and 3-way calling, among others. The software platform also includes pre-integrated ICSA-certified stateful packet inspection firewall with network address translation (NAT) and support for over 40 application layer gateways (ALGs). It has simple, easy-to-use, web-based management and administration interface, providing the network equipment manufacturer a complete solution.

iGateway SecureICP is optimized for Intel XScale technology for high speed processing of algorithms like G.711 and G.729a/b with VAD and CNG, jitter control, multi-framing, and echo cancellation, claims Intoto. The Intel IXP4XX network processor includes a powerful DSP software library (DSR) that runs on the high speed Intel XScale core making it well suited for convergence applications. The iGateway SecureICP software leverages the hardware acceleration provided for RTP streaming, and advanced features like out of band DTMF digit transmission, dynamic switching of codec type and frames per packet, Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) as FSK/DTMF.

iGateway SecureICP provides a flexible architecture for multiple applications and support for a variety of WAN and LAN technologies with optional features such as wireless access and Virtual Private Networking (VPN), says Intoto. This enables the equipment manufacturers to build feature-rich products with accelerated time to market. It supports packet processing and applications needed for network access such as routing and packet forwarding. In addition, iGateway SecureICP includes features such as bridging and spanning tree, WAN protocols such as PPP and PPPoE, and applications such as DHCP server, client, relay, HTTP server, SMTP client, DNS relay, and Dynamic DNS.

Sathyan Iyengar, president and CEO of Intoto said, “Security is a key concern for many enterprises, and Intoto's iGateway SecureICP software solution provides complete security along with convergence technologies helping OEMs quickly build fully functional ICP Appliances.”
