The SIParator is a SIP security device which can be installed either in the DMZ of an existing firewall, or as a standalone entry point into the LAN. With the SIParator in place, organizations can manage and control SIP traffic and establish policies for network access. The SIParator also helps to resolve differences in SIP implementations by performing translations, a process also called normalization, between ITSPs and the ShoreTel UC system.
