Telecommunications service providers in need of a solution to manage their signaling and media traffic operations across diverse network environments
About Nokia Session Border Controller (SBC)
Nokia's Session Border Controller (SBC) secures signaling and control media crossing the edges of the IMS network. It sits at the edge of access networks to secure any type of IP access and deliver all IMS services. It also sits on the edge of peering networks to support roaming, IMS interconnection, or corporate SIP trunking scenarios. The SBC provides functions such as encryption/decryption of bearer traffic, firewall and topology hiding for security, media handling and transcoding, SIP interworking, and NAT traversal. It can be deployed as a standalone SBC or as part of Nokia’s VoLTE/VoWiFi solution. For VoIP services provided to residential and enterprise customers, the SBC offers DoS/DDoS protection, topology hiding of the network from the access, NAT traversal, and codec support for G.729, G.722, and T.38 Fax. In a VoLTE core network, it controls access and allows mobility, providing an EVS codec and supporting eSRVCC, VoWiFi, NPLI, S8HR roaming, and more.
