Intoto and Intel to Present VoIP Platform at VON Vendor Theater on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, 2:00-2:30pm

VON SPRING SHOW (BOOTH # 728), San Jose, Calif., March 8, 2005 — Intoto, a leading provider of integrated security, voice and wireless software platforms to networking equipment manufacturers, today announced that it will showcase a secure VoIP gateway reference design optimized for the Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) market at the VON Spring 2005 Conference and Expo. The complete VoIP platform features data, security, voice and WLAN convergence for SMBs and is based on Intoto’s iGateway EX SecureICP software and the Intel® IXDPG425 Network Gateway Reference Platform. The combined solution supports nationwide VoIP services such as AT&T’s VoIP services.

“The SecureICP reference design is an ideal solution for OEMs who need to quickly incorporate security, data and voice functionality into their systems,” said Doug Makishima, vice president of marketing at Intoto. “At Fall VON last October, we showcased a prototype of the platform. Now, we are demonstrating a fully functional solution ready for OEMs to integrate, dramatically reducing time spent on development and certification.”

Intoto’s iGateway EX SecureICP gateway software is optimized for the Intel IXP425 network processor to allow equipment manufacturers to build highly secure, reliable and feature-rich Integrated Communication Platforms (ICPs). It is a fully integrated high-performance solution for convergence products ranging from Integrated Access Devices (IADs), embedded routers with VoIP and security, IP PBXs, and voice and media gateways.

The solution is based on the Intel® IXDPG425 Network Gateway Reference Platform which includes the Intel IXP425 network processor. It supports up to four POTS ports, 10/100 Mbps WAN, four port 10/100 Mbps LAN switch, and a mini-PCI interface for a wireless LAN card interface. The Intel IXP425 network processor is supported by a powerful DSP software library that runs on the high speed Intel XScale® core for processing algorithms such as G.711, G.726, G.729, G.722, G.723.1, and T.38 Fax over IP support with very low power consumption. In addition, built-in network processing engines (NPEs) support the Intel XScale core with data processing to assure optimal voice quality.

“This announcement highlights the versatility of the Intel® IXP425 network processor,” said Terry West, network processor marketing director, Infrastructure Processor Division, Intel Corporation. “When combining this highly integrated processor with Intoto’s software, OEMs can quickly deliver products that address the demanding market needs.”

Intoto and Intel will hold a presentation about the platform at the VON Spring vendor theater on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, at 2:00 pm.
