Microsoft Lync & Acme Packet Session Management SolutionsMUCUGL
Geraint Evans, a guest speaker from Acme Packet, presents on how Acme Packet achieves SIP session management within the SME up to carrier-grade environments.
G5 provides a unique solution that allows service provid-ers to replace legacy line access equipment with a complete LineAccess Gateway inclusive of the line card.
While an increasing number of operators have already replaced their SS7 based telecommunication core network with a SIP based solution, the interconnection to neighboring partners is still often realized over an SS7 peering point. This means that a call that is carried over a VoIP network is translated to an SS7 call and then possibly back to VoIP again. The translation requires specialized components and resources, which increases the network operation costs and introduces unnecessary processing delay. To avoid these costs and delays operators have started introducing SIP based interconnection and peering points.
The ABC SBC enables operators to establish secure borders to their neighbors by offering topology hiding, denial of service protection and mediation in a scalable manner
Complete connectivity solution for small-to-medium sized enterprises. Supports up to 60 voice channels in a 1U platform. Provides versatile connectivity between TDM and VoIP networks.
