OVERVIEW
Migration of consumers, enterprises, and service providers to IP
Communications is creating new challenges for IP networks. As these
networks evolve, their edges become increasingly more complex.
And as the array of devices and endpoints continues to increase,
and customers require seamless access to these advanced networks;
this creates security, interoperability, and service assurance issues for
network operators.

MULTI-DIMENSION ADAPTABILITY
Today’s SBCs are often stand-alone platforms but as networks become
more complex, integration issues will become important when
deploying new services. The GENBAND S3 Intelligent SBC provides
complete flexibility in architecting network by deploying the same
SBC software either as a standalone solution or as a module in fully
integrated multi-application platforms.
Delivered on a common off the shelf platform (COTS), the S3 SBC
provides substantial and measurable deployment benefits. This ensures
that GENBAND can rapidly adopt new computing and networking
technologies, providing a price/performance ratio that leads the
SMART MANAGEMENT industry. Combining the benefits of COTS hardware, a software-centric
Accompanying the S3 is the market leading GENView RSM which
provides a SMART management solution that is specifically designed
to monitor, analyze, report, and enforce network wide quality and
performance at the network borders. While S3 ensures a secure and
robust interoperable IP border, the RSM provides visibility into the traffic
that traverses the network edge and adds the analytical capabilities to
dynamically modify call-routing behavior based on a combination of
business policies, network QoS and subscriber usage patterns.
Delivering Holistic Visibility and Dynamic Adaptation
