The Radvision Scopia PathFinder Firewall Traversal is a complete firewall and NAT solution for video conferencing deployment in an IP environment with complicated firewall and NAT issues.

The Radvision Scopia PathFinder enables secure connectivity between enterprise networks and remote sites. It maintains the security and advantages of firewall and NAT over heterogeneous video networks and allows seamless integration with existing video endpoints and infrastructure components.

Without the Radvision Scopia PathFinder, the typical solution to resolve this complicated firewall and NAT issues is to open the required ports at firewall and map static public IP addresses to the internal IP addresses where the video conferencing systems are. By doing so, the network security is compromised. In some large scale deployment with MCU and mixture of H.323 video conferencing systems in the WAN and LAN, opening of firewall port and NAT will not resolve the problems of H.323 endpoints joining the MCU from WAN.

The Radvision Scopia PathFinder offers complete tunneling solution for audio-video-data firewall traversal through user configurable firewall port without compromising network security. It is easy to deploy, no changes at customer’s firewalls and routers, dial plans and video conferencing endpoints are required.

Available in a 1U secured and hardened Linux platform, the Radvision Scopia PathFinder works with any firewall, H.323 video conferencing systems, MCU and gatekeeper.

It supports web interface for easy management as well.
