TELECOMWORLDWIRE-20 June 2008-Avistar announces partnership with Paradial(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Avistar Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:AVSR), a provider of integrated visual communications software, has partnered with software company Paradial AS to integrate firewall traversal technology into C3, its software for desktop and room-based videoconferencing and collaboration.

According to the company, the partnership means that C3 now offers similar simplicity and ease-of-use as consumer software, but in an enterprise-strength package that includes bandwidth management. It enables organizations at all levels of a supply chain to link key personnel with face-to-face communications and collaboration tools, irrespective of their location, and without concerns over the ability to connect.

Under the partnership, Paradial's RealTunnel Firewall/NAT is embedded into all versions of Avistar C3, including Desktop, Teamroom, Teamroom MP, Executive Teamroom, Mobile Teamroom, and available through both hosted and on premise deployments. Support for SIP-based industry standards (ICE, STUN, TURN) for multimedia communications enables the solution to work across virtually any firewall and network in a non-intrusive way, without any reconfiguration, and helps ensure high call quality.

In addition, the improvements to interconnectivity and reduced need for administrator intervention extend the value of Avistar's video-enabling capabilities for integration into third party unified communications systems, the company said.

No financial details were disclosed.
