MONTREAL – Telecom equipment TelcoBridges is offering a new subscription-based virtual session border controller (SBC) that it says offers significant cost savings to service providers.
The new downloadable Virtual Tsbc, which the company says is the industry’s first subscription-based virtual SBC from a brand name manufacturer of telecommunications equipment for carriers, supports up to 60,000 concurrent SIP sessions. It enables high performance SIP to SIP translation (B2BUA), header manipulation, extensive and flexible call routing, available transcoding, all while protecting the carrier’s network infrastructure from DoS and DDOS attacks.
“By removing the physical layer from our SBC, we’re making it much easier for customers to deploy the industry’s latest and most advanced technology,” said TelcoBridges CEO Gaetan Campeau, in the news release. “Just as importantly, we’re introducing a new pricing structure that eliminates CAPEX, and reduces OPEX to a point where carriers and service providers can deploy our SBC with licensing and full support, for less money than they’ve previously paid to support their existing SBCs. We think this new combination of performance and price point is a game-changer for the Session Border Controller marketplace. It will allow service providers to migrate to the latest and best technology without the CAPEX shock factor.”
The TelcoBridges Virtual Tsbc works on industry standard hardware and VM environments, and may also be deployed with external routing engines to ease the implementation into existing carrier networks. In addition, Virtual Tsbc supports a full set of management tools for configuring, monitoring and provisioning, including a machine-to-machine interface using a RESTful JSON API for integration with operations support systems.
