Paradial Receives INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine’s Twelfth Annual Product of the Year Award

RealTunnel Recognized for Outstanding Innovation
Oslo, Norway, March 18, 2010 — Paradial announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine has named RealTunnel 4.0 as a recipient of its 2009 Product of the Year Award. 
                                                                  
With RealTunnel organizations overcome the inherent conflict between security and accessibility that often results in voice and audio traffic unintentionally being blocked by firewalls, NATs and web proxies. Utilizing RealTunnel UC (Unified Communications), videoconferencing and VoIP solutions can be deployed and accessed by end users anytime from anywhere without modifying firewalls or changing existing infrastructures.
 
RealTunnel 4.0 is a comprehensive NAT and firewall traversal solution that includes implementations of the latest ICE, STUN, and TURN drafts, in addition to H.460.18/19 and HTTPS tunneling.  Microsoft’s SIP, ICE, STUN and TURN extensions are also supported.
 
RealTunnel works both with PBXs, SIP registrars and H.323 Gatekeepers that are publicly available or located on the inside of a corporate LAN. Cost saving SIP trunking and other types of hosted SIP and H.323 services are supported.
 
"RealTunnel allows solution and service providers build and deploy services that are accessible to users from the location and device they prefer,” said Lars Meloe, VP Sales & Marketing, Paradial. "Flattening the IP-network and enabling IP-solutions work across firewalls and NATs that otherwise interfere with SIP and H323 traffic is a key requirement in making IP-services more reliable and accessible to users. We are honored to be recognized for our dedication in providing our customers with the highest quality firewall and NAT traversal solutions."
 
INTERNET TELEPHONY is proud to grant Paradial a 2009 Product of the Year Award for their RealTunnel 4.0 product. Paradial has proven its commitment to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.  “We’re happy to recognize and honor Paradial for their development of IP communications technology.  We look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future.”
