Session Border Controller (SBC) a Truly Unique Differentiator for ADTRAN VoIP Gateways

VoIP Supply recently offered up a terrific blog post to explain why you need a Session Border Controller for your VoIP system. Now that you know the importance of this critical feature, wouldn’t it be great to have it already integrated within your VoIP Gateway?

As part of our market-leading uniqueness in the gateway segment, ADTRAN’s Total Access 900e Series of VoIP Gateways also provide enterprise SBC functionality, delivering a truly converged application platform at the customer premises. Clearly, this feature is becoming mandatory in today’s service deployment to normalize, secure and troubleshoot the SIP interoperability demanded at the premises.

Designed to ease the need for extensive interoperability testing, ADTRAN’s SBC delivers the tools necessary to normalize, secure and troubleshoot the SIP to SIP communication between a carrier network and the customer’s SIP compliant equipment.

ADTRAN’s SBC provides for many advanced features:

• SIP Header Manipulation Rules (HMR) that solve interoperability issues present in disparate networks.
• Media anchoring which ensures traffic flows from a trusted network element, preventing media routing confusion and hiding the topology of the enterprise network.
• Packet Capture (pcap) that allows for user-defined routing of packet information for troubleshooting and evaluation purposes.
• Voice Quality Monitoring (VQM) which provides a sophisticated level of network performance visibility in an easy-to-use, graphical interface.
• High-Performance firewall that identifies and protects voice networks against common Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Along with this impressive array of SBC functionality, ADTRAN’s VoIP Gateways feature a host of other qualities that enable cost-effective, reliable IP service delivery. Our gateways can be also be coupled with a NetVanta® Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch to provide connectivity to a variety of network devices and personal computers, as well as to power IP phones and Wireless Access Points (WAPs).
