Why Enterprise Session Border Controller?

Session Border Controllers were originally deployed at the border of Service Provider core networks. Both enterprises and Service Providers have now realized the essential need of enterprisebased session border controllers, located at the customer premises for addressing the security, mediation and SLA requirements of the enterprise. The Mediant Software E-SBC provides an open and flexible architecture for all enterprise deployments, acting as the demarcation point between the enterprise and SIP Trunking providers, an enterprise and a hosted Unified Communications service provider, or an enterprise and other organizations for direct VoIP calling.

Vast Mediation Capabilities and Proven Interoperability

In a world of growing implementations of SIP flavors, enterprises and Services Providers alike must ensure interoperability for successful integration and service delivery. The Mediant Software E-SBC, includes comprehensive media security, and SIP normalization capabilities. As a direct evolution of the field-proven and highly interoperable AudioCodes E-SBC product family, the Mediant Software E-SBC provides unparalleled interoperability, enabling mediation between an extensive list of IP-PBXs, Unified Communications solutions and SIP Trunking providers.

High Availability and Survivability

SIP Trunking Solution

The Mediant Software E-SBC provides security, session mediation and service level assurance services, connecting the enterprise to multiple SlP Trunking providers, while maintaining interoperability and manageability.

Contact Center Solution

Contact Centers place the SIP Application Server in the LAN, with SIP User Agents deployed remotely across the WAN. The Mediant Software E-SBC monitors these User Agents, and resolves any NAT traversal issues they might face.

Hosted Centrex Solution
