As communications networks evolve, interconnects tend to grow in numbers and complexity.

How SBCs Can Simplify the Complexities of Deploying Multi-Tenant SIP Trunks

After more than a decade of deployment history, the session border controller (SBC) is now widely recognized as an essential component in the ongoing transition to an all-IP network.
