Deploying voice communications over the Internet has the potential to create quality and security issues if providers don't take proactive measures to prevent issues. Ribbon's Intelligent Edge™ solutions are deployed at the edge of a customer's network to give communication service providers a better way to monitor, manage and secure voice traffic as it enters and exits a customer's site.
EdgeMarc elements can operate independently or be centrally managed with the EdgeView Service Control Center. By centrally managing hundreds or thousands of EdgeMarc elements, EdgeView gives providers a local view of issues as well as a holistic view of their network. EdgeView also enables
- Zero touch provisioning for consistent, low touch, low cost deployments.
- Centralized reporting and management tools reduce expensive truck rolls and many of the customer satisfaction issues that create churn.

Centrally Managed - A Strategic Investment that Pays for Itself
