At the network edge, issues like security, interoperability, protocols, system complexity, and service assurance are arising for operators and carriers alike, and in turn they are demanding carrier grade, intelligent session border controllers (SBCs) to ensure a seamless communications experience.
Deployed as a key part of SIP Trunking, IP eXchange (IPX), Peering, Intra-Network Interconnect, VoLTE, IMS, and RCS Solutions, SBCs provide critical but diverse functions that include Signaling Interoperability, Session Management, Media Proxying, Session Access Control, Traffic Management, Security, and Policy Control; and play an increasingly vital role in the delivery of communications services by protecting your network services from malicious attacks, managing packet throughput under all load conditions, and normalizing otherwise incompatible protocols.
