What is SBC?

Session border controllers (SBCs) are crucial to the VoIP network puzzle. Available as either hardware devices or software applications, they’re deployed at the border between an enterprise and a service provider, where they control the flow of data generated during communications between two parties, otherwise known as sessions.

Mediant SBCs are certified by the leading unified communications (UC) providers, such as Microsoft Teams (Direct Routing and Operator Connect), Zoom, and RingCentral, as well as by contact center providers such as Genesys (Engage and Cloud), Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Avaya.

 

SBCs also provide seamless connectivity, enhanced security, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that emergency calls are routed correctly and prioritized above other communications.
 

An SBC performs the following functions:

Securing the RTC network.

Enabling SIP trunking

Interconnecting & interworking networks & protocols

Dealing with SIP variants

Translating protocols

Acting as session traffic cop

Intelligent routing & policy controls
