VoIP Gateways

Sonus Session Border Controllers (SBCs) help the world's leading enterprises reduce communications costs, enable Unified Communications (UC), and protect their networks against Internet Protocol (IP)-based attacks. Now small businesses and branch offices can enjoy the same industry-leading SBC technology in a right-sized appliance designed specifically for their networks. The SBC 1000 Session Border Controller is an advanced SBC independently verified for performance, delivering robust security features and interoperability between disparate networks. The SBC 1000 configurations are designed for ease of deployment and growth. Both session and port expansion can be remotely enabled via a simple license, eliminating the need for a truck-roll and an on-site technician. The Sonus SBC 1000 also features a wide range of I/O and call capacities as well as built-in survivability for Microsoft and BroadSoft, so calls go through even if the wide area network (WAN) goes down.

SBC 1000 & SBC 2000

Intelligent Edge™ - Enterprise Session Border Controllers

Organizations are rapidly adopting cloud communications whether it be Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Microsoft Teams or SIP Trunks to connect premises equipment. Ribbon's SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 Session Border Controllers provide market leading security and interoperability elements to simplify access to secure cloud-based services. The SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 include multiple options to integrate traditional telecom devices via analog, BRI and T1/E1 ports. They also include impactful capabilities to maintain communications access if a WAN link is lost or a cloud service is unavailable.

Beyond their industry renowned security services, the SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 are independently verified for performance and designed to eliminate interoperability issues between different VoIP products and networks. Ribbon has been working closely with Microsoft for more than a decade so it should come as no surprise that both products are Microsoft certified for Microsoft Direct Routing.

The SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 are certified with Zoom, Webex, Google Voice, Cisco BroadSoft, Yealink, Poly, and tested with other popular services and products. A built-in deployment wizard is pre-populated with popular PBXs, cloud UC services, contact centers, and service provider configurations so deployment can be as simple as point and click. Most importantly, the SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 have been successfully deployed tens of thousands of times to secure communications for organizations of all sizes, across the globe.

The Ribbon Communications SBC 1000 Gateway provides small and mediumsized enterprises with legacy voice infrastructure a secure, reliable path to VoIP connectivity with a full range of SIP service provider environments. The SBC 1000 Gateway is a complementary offering to the standard SBC 1000 offering for primarily TDM-SIP use cases, with growth for IP-IP call fl ows when needed. The SBC 1000 Gateway supports any-to-any connectivity between FXS, FXO, BRI, PRI, and SIP endpoints or devices, enabling rapid migration to SIP-based networks while retaining existing PBXs or analog devices. The Ribbon SBC 1000 Gateway helps enterprises reduce communications costs, enable Unifi ed Communications (UC), and protect their networks against Internet Protocol (IP)-based attacks. Now small businesses and branch offi ces can enjoy the same industry-leading SBC technology in a right-sized appliance designed specifi cally for their ne works. The SBC 1000 Gateway is designed for ease of deployment and growth, and advanced features can be remotely enabled via a simple license, eliminating the need for a truck-roll and an on-site technician. The Ribbon SBC 1000 Gateway also features a wide range of I/O and call capacities as well as built-in survivability for TDM, FXx, and SIP devices, so calls go through even if the wide area network (WAN) goes down.

As enterprises of all sizes make the transition from legacy technologies to IP-based solutions such as SIP Trunking and Hosted Unified Communications, they require flexibility to support this transition cost-effectively. Ribbon's EdgeMarc Multi-Service Gateways provides the interfaces and functions that allow service providers to deliver a single edge device that adapts to an end user's changing needs.

The EdgeMarc Multi-Service Gateways provide both PSTN gateway functions to support PRI and analog trunks, as well as an Enterprise Session Border Controller (eSBC) for security and Quality of Service (QoS) management of VoIP services.
