Ingate's SIP-capable firewalls are connected in exactly the same way as a normal enterprise firewall. It sits at the network perimeter securing your LAN while seamlessly and effortlessly enabling the secure traversal of SIP-based communications.

Firewall Deployment

SIP traversal for an incoming session of an Ingate Firewall® (image below):
