Session Border Controllers

As a leader in secure VoIP networks, Sonus Networks has long offered carriers a high-performance border solution with the hybrid TDM/IP NBS9000 Network Border Switch. Now, we've expanded our security portfolio with the addition of a pure IP appliance that leverages many of the same NBS features: the Sonus NBS5200 Session Border Controller. Together, they provide robust session control, media transcoding and security for both legacy networks in transition and the next generation of pure IP communications. Based on a unique Sonus architecture that combines multiple, embedded hardware elements to address media transcoding, security and encryption functions, the NBS portfolio offers a proven, scalable, high-performance session border solution that meets the challenges of today's IP communications networks

The NBS5200 is the first of a new class of Sonus VoIP solutions built on the ConnexIP™ Platform providing superior price-performance in a small form-factor. Both share the same engineering cornerstones:

  • high performance under load
  • robust call control
  • embedded media transcoding
  • robust security

 

  Sonus NBS - The next generation of Border Control


The NBS9000 and NBS5200 share many of the same industry-leading features on different strategic platforms. The NBS9000 is based on Sonus' unique GSX Open Services Platform and provides the only high-density media gateway that evolves gracefully from TDM to hybrid TDM/IP to all-IP secure interconnect in a single chassis.

        "We are witnessing consistent growth and market demand for VoIP as well as other IP services…we needed to be able to scale to meet this growth cost effectively with an integrated solution for both TDM and VoIP services. The Sonus GSX9000 media gateway has proven reliable for 360networks and we look forward to adding the NBS functionality as a catalyst for our continued expansion of services."

        Joe McGarvey, Principal Analyst of IP Infrastructure
         
        "Even though the Session Border Control function has evolved to cover many more functions, such as routing and media interworking, the basic functionality of connectivity and security still must be executed without compromise for a service provider or large enterprise to trust their network border to an SBC."

        "We are bringing together significant volumes of TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) or traditionally switched and IP traffic from two large networks...I am extremely pleased with the quality, reliability and speed of this deployment. We expect to achieve cost savings and efficiency gains from our new IP core network as well as from the ability to centrally manage our voice traffic across our fiber backbone."
