[. . . ] Why Enterprise Session Border Controllers?Session Border Controllers were traditionally deployed at the border of service provider core networks. Both Enterprises and Service Providers have now realized the essential need of enterprise-based session border controllers, located at the customer premises for addressing the security, mediation and SLA requirements of the Enterprise. The Mediant 3000 E-SBC provides an open and flexible architecture for all Enterprise deployments, acting as the demarcation point between an Enterprise and a SIP Trunking provider, an enterprise and a hosted Unified Communication service provider or an enterprise and other organizations for direct VoIP calling. Integrated PSTN connectivity Customers can safely and transparently migrate from traditional PSTN to SIP Trunking with the Mediant 3000 E-SBC, a cost-effective method of increasing the value of their data network, while also protecting their investment in legacy PBX equipment. In addition to E1/T1 interfaces, the Mediant 3000 E-SBC supports high-density PSTN interfaces, such as T3, STM-1 and OC3. Vast mediation capabilities and proven interoperability In a world of growing choices of voice coders and SIP flavors, enterprises and services providers alike must ensure interoperability for successful integration and service delivery. The Mediant 3000 E-SBC, with its extensive media processing capabilities, supports a wide range of voice coders with the ability of transcoding between narrowband and wideband voice coders, including SIP normalization, fax handling, gain control and numerous additional media processing features. As a direct evolution of the field-proven and highly interoperable Mediant 3000 VoIP media gateway, the Mediant 3000 E-SBC provides unparalleled interoperability, enabling mediation between an extensive list of IP and TDM PBXs and SIP Trunking providers. High Availability and survivability The Mediant 3000 E-SBC supports high-availability configurations with reliable, "1+1" redundancy of all system components, ensuring no loss of active sessions during failure time. The Mediant 3000 E-SBC is equipped with PSTN interfaces that can also provide local survivability via PSTN fallback connectivity (including E911), when the WAN is unavailable. Mediant TM 3000 Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) Applications Sip Trunking Solution Using the Mediant 3000 E-SBC, enterprise customers can seamlessly migrate from legacy PSTN connectivity to cost-effective SIP Trunking Services.
