VoIP Access Security / Interworking

GENBAND, a pioneer in session border control, provides carrier class, scalable border gateways that enable VoIP and multimedia sessions to flow securely and reliably between residential and business end users and service providers.

Fixed and mobile broadband access networks are growing rapidly, with increasing use of IP-centric applications like VoIP, multimedia conferencing, and collaboration. These applications require many different end user devices such as FTTx gateways, PC clients, and SIP and other VoIP phones that often use diverse IP communications protocols and signaling methods.

When diverse IP networks meet at network borders, extensive interworking, protocol repair, and normalization is required to ensure smooth session flow. In addition, a complex set of security risks must be managed to prevent service theft, ensure session integrity, protect policies and SLAs, and provide network predictability and session confidentiality.

GENBAND's S3 and S9 Session Border Controllers provide comprehensive carrier class security, session management, and policy enforcement at the network border between residential or business users and service providers. The S-Series platforms are used in the world's largest service provider networks to protect subscriber connections and the core network against service-disrupting attacks by securely managing, controlling, and enabling interoperability for real-time voice and multimedia sessions at the network border.
