i-data Networks to Introduce Revolutionizing Secure Voice Over IP Technology at CeBIT '99 March 5, 1999 COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 4 /PRNewswire/ i-data Networks, a leader in Internet connectivity products, today announced that it will be introducing Secure Voice over IP technology at the CeBIT '99 exhibition, which will be held March 18-24 in Hanover, Germany. Voice over IP technology has expanded significantly in the last few years, and today can produce the same Quality of Service (QOS) associated with normal telephony technology at significantly lower cost. By introducing security in Voice over IP technology, i-data Networks can provide companies with the technology to build confidential voice networks linking branch offices, headquarters, remote workers on the road, and selected partners. With Secure Voice over IP technology, companies can hold confidential conference calls via the Internet. i-data Networks' Voice over IP technology integrates seamlessly with existing Private Branch Exchange (PBX) equipment, providing a clear path to migration from normal voice systems to Secure Voice over IP technology. In effect, the i-data Networks Voice over IP technology allows companies to plug their existing PBX into the i-data Networks infrastructure without additional specialized PBX-specific hardware needed. This will allow companies to make point-to-point and conference phone calls between branch offices at significantly reduced rates. "As the world is moving towards a telecommunications infrastructure based on the Internet, it is important for companies to maintain security and convenience," says i-data Networks VP of Development, Peter Videcrantz. "We're proud to be among the first vendors to be able to offer a plug and play 100% secure platform for integrating existing telephony systems with Voice over IP." i-data Networks Secure Voice over IP platform is based on hardware-based TripleDES cryptography, and will be present in both its SafePipe(TM) virtual private networking product for medium- and large-sized enterprises, and its Masquerade Multipurpose Access Device(TM) product for small to medium-sized enterprises from the third quarter of 1999.
