Paradial named to the 2007 “PULVER 100”

Oslo, Norway - March 12, 2007 – Paradial today announced that it has been named to the 2007 “Pulver 100” – which is the IP Communications industry’s premier listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem.  Paradial has been named to the list for its continuous focus on solving Firewall/NAT traversal in real-time IP communications with its RealTunnel solution.

The cost to VoIP and IP-multimedia providers by not being able to offer a good user experience due to lack of last-mile connectivity is becoming increasingly clear to service and application providers alike.

Paradial RealTunnel is probably the world's most comprehensive FW/NAT (Firewall / Network Address Translation) product and works with virtually any SIP clients and any FW/NAT device - including strict corporate firewalls - without requiring FW/NAT or network reconfiguration.

“The Pulver 100 is the IP Communications industry’s first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like Paradial continue to spread IP communications via their RealTunnel,” said Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of pulvermedia. “We’re proud to name Paradial to this year’s Pulver 100.” 

“The Paradial team is honored to receive this prestigious recognition for the third time in a row”, says CEO of Paradial Ingvar Aaberg. “We now see the result of our continuous focus and investments in solving the main challenge to real-time IP communications: Guaranteed call completion and carrier-grade telephony services for millions of users over heterogeneous IP infrastructures.”

Paradial will be demonstrating the RealTunnel solutions at Spring VON, to be held 19. – 22. March in San Jose, CA. To receive free exhibition passes or to meet with Paradial, please visit:
