PortaOne and Paradial Announce Interoperability of the RealTunnel© Firewall and NAT Traversal Solution with PortaOne Solutions

In case you missed this: Coquitlam, British Colombia and Oslo, Norway, September 4, 2007 – PortaOne and Paradial announced that Paradial’s RealTunnel© firewall and NAT traversal product is interoperable with PortaOne software billing and softswitch solutions (PortaSwitch) for ITSPs.  The solution allows PortaOne customers to deploy IP-media services with no worries about firewalls, NAT devices and web proxies that otherwise prevent end-users from accessing communication services.The end-user experience of IP-media services, such as VoIP, is often disappointing due to the lack of connectivity resulting from firewalls and NAT devices interfering with SIP and H.323 traffic.  The interoperable PortaOne and RealTunnel solution allow SIP and H.323 solutions to work across any firewall, NAT and web proxy without the need to reconfigure those devices.  QoS is maintained and cost is kept down as RealTunnel always establishes the most efficient communication path available.
