gateways since last November, but the new agreement makes the protocol a
unique feature of UM's products. UM Labs has been using Zimmermann's
client, Zfone, for three years.

The exact terms of the deal have not been made public, but it is
understood that ZRTP will now feature as an option on its RC-2100,
EC-4200 and SC-6600 family if SIP controllers for an indefinite period.
The agreement does not affect ZRTP's use in non-gateway products, such
as VoIP clients.

"By providing ZRTP across our entire product range, we are able to

security. ZRTP means that we can provide encrypted VoIP connections to
devices on mobile networks, as well to those on fixed line networks and
on Wi-Fi connections," said UM Lab's Cox.
