Lynk is First to Integrate RADIUS Security into Telephony over IP Network Solutions, Providing Strong User Authentication and Accounting Services January 5, 1999 1999--Lynk Ltd., a subsidiary of Better On-line Solutions (Nasdaq: BOSCF), today announced that the company's TeleLynk products are the first IP telephony solutions to incorporate RADIUS as part of a complete security strategy. TeleLynk solutions with RADIUS are available now. Combining TeleLynk with Lynk's RADIUS server, Sentinel, allows network managers to easily monitor and control multiple databases of data and telephony network access from a single location. TeleLynk is a suite of IP telephony solutions including single-line and multi-line Gateways and a variety of client solutions designed to dramatically lower the cost of telephone calls and telephony equipment by routing calls over corporate Intranets or the Internet. TeleLynk Gateways secure communications using a multi-level security approach including IVR (Interactive Voice Response) to identify callers, call encryption, and Sentinel. Caller privileges are defined on the Sentinel RADIUS server including access to TeleLynk Gateways and other systems, length of time users are allowed to talk, and long distance calling rights. The system also generates usage reports that can easily be imported into billing systems. TeleLynk allows organizations to save money and manage network traffic efficiently using the Gateway's LCR (Least Cost Routing) function and call-forwarding settings.
