IP Network Interconnect

Mobile and fixed line networks are rapidly evolving to IP-based VoIP and multimedia services, creating a growing global demand for interconnection and peering of IP traffic at the borders between networks. As a pioneer in session border control, GENBAND provides market leading, high performance IP peering and interconnect border control solutions that allow high-quality voice and multimedia sessions to flow efficiently, securely, and reliably between network borders.

Unlike legacy circuit networks where traffic flow was structured and homogeneous, IP traffic is inherently heterogeneous with a diverse set of protocols and network configurations that require complex interworkings and policy control over IP sessions. IP is not tied to any specific network facility, so traffic needs to be intelligently routed and managed, and IP is also very open, exposing network borders to the security risks inherent in the Internet.

GENBAND's S3 Session Border Controller and S2 and S9 Integrated Border Gateways (IBG) provide comprehensive carrier-class security, session management, and policy enforcement, along with the advanced routing required in IP interconnect networks. The S-Series platforms are used in the world's largest service provider networks as the critical border element to securely manage, route, and control real-time voice and multimedia sessions at network-to-network interfaces.
