Acme Packet » Session Border Controller (SBC)
Session border controllers (SBCs) provide critical control functions to deliver high quality interactive communications—voice, video and multimedia sessions—across IP network borders. Already widely used by service providers throughout the world, SBCs are increasingly deployed by enterprises, contact centres and government agencies to improve interoperability, secure enterprise infrastructure, services, applications and information. The deployment of SBCs fundamentally improves the reliability of IP-based communications.
A "Session" is any real-time, interactive voice, video or multimedia communication using IP session-layer signalling protocols such as SIP and H.323. The "Border" is any IP-IP network border such as those between service provider and enterprise, residential or mobile subscriber, or between two service providers. The "Control" functions satisfy requirements in five major areas - Security, Service Reach Maximization, Service Level Agreement (SLA) Assurance, Revenue & Cost Optimization, and Regulatory Compliance.
Acme Packet SBC configurations for fixed line service providers are supported on a family of hardware platforms including the Net-Net 3820 and 4500. All Net-Net products support carrier-class high-availability (HA) operation. Acme Packet also provides robust network management capabilities that allow service providers to deliver trusted, first-class unified communications and collaboration.
