News Highlights:



        
        --  University of Vigo chose the recently announced Net-Net Enterprise
            Session Director-Server Edition -- a software-based E-SBC, which runs
            on industry-standard x86 Linux servers -- to contain capital and

        --  The solution protects the university's IT infrastructure and mitigates
            Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall traversal issues that
            often hinder Internet telephony initiatives and burden support
            organizations.
        
        
        --  The university deployed the solution upon the recommendation of
            Quobis, a leading unified communications systems integrator that
            carried out the installation and setup of the solution.

        --  Cost-effective, rapid deployment with minimal help desk burden
        --  Secure communications without virtual private network client
            complexity
