In today's business environment, many commercial enterprises, public and governmental organizations deploy VPNs, firewalls, and NATs to protect themselves from virtual threats posed by hackers, spyware, and other malicious activity. However, it is equally important to create and maintain open, yet secure, communications channels with customers, partners, suppliers, and employees working at different locations.

Emblaze-VCON's Frontier is the most effective solution for applying secure firewall traversal and network address translation to an H.323 IP multimedia communication network. It creates a secure tunnel for streaming video, audio, and data across multiple networks and to the public Internet. Setup of Frontier does not require additional configuration of security infrastructure, resulting in seamless communication without compromising enterprise security.
