CommuniGate Systems actively participates in leading industry forums, associations, and boards that drive standards such as IMS, IPv6, SIP, and issues like security, mobility, performance and quality benchmarking. We support, contribute, and maintain voting seats in these associations to further drive adoption of an open standards based Internet that drives out the concepts of location and toll based concepts in the legacy closed networks.
CommuniGate Systems' vision is adopted squarely from our customers' demands for the future of Internet Communications and the company has continued this evolution to break apart proprietary service protocols and open up end-to-end IP Communications. We see the entire global on-line base of nearly 2 billion email accounts as one address space for all IP communications, and continue to convert these individual accounts through our product initiatives at the ISP, Enterprise and consumer levels.
