Paradial Receives INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine’s 11th Annual Product of the Year Award

RealTunnel Recognized for Outstanding Innovation

OSLO, NORWAY, January 19, 2009 — Paradial announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine (www.itmag.com) has named RealTunnel as a recipient of its 2008 Product of the Year Award. 

Paradial’s RealTunnel allows VoIP, video conferencing and unified providers to deploy services where audio, video and IM services are available across firewalls, NAT devices and web proxies that otherwise unintentionally interfere with such services.

RealTunnel implements STUN, TURN and ICE – client and server side - and extends the standards with HTTPS-based tunneling and real-time QoS optimization for network topologies where the standards fall short.

"RealTunnel allows solution and service providers build and deploy services that are accessible to users from the location and device they prefer,” said Lars Meløe, 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 pleased to grant a 2008 Product of the Year Award to Paradial for their RealTunnel.   RealTunnel has proven they are committed to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. “We’re proud to honor their accomplishments in the advancement of IP communications and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future.”

A full list of Product of the Year winners will be published in the February, 2009 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine, (www.itmag.com).  INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the authority in IP communication since 1998™.
