PRODUCT GUIDE: INGATE FIREWALL 1600

Ingate's Firewall 1600 has better performance and more capabilities than
the Firewall 1400, including SIP remote connectivity, VoIP survival, and
Gigabit Ethernet. The management interface is easier to use,
configuration is simpler, and the 1600 will support as many as 360
simultaneous calls. However, the price is a little steep, especially
with the required maintenance.
