Description

The Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) serves as a robust Session Border Controller (SBC) designed for enterprises, enabling secure, scalable, and adaptable voice and video communications between corporate networks and provider SIP trunks. It encapsulates four essential roles: session management, security enforcement, protocol interworking, and boundary definition. CUBE effectively facilitates signaling compatibility between SIP and H.323 protocols and manages media interworking, which includes DTMF, fax, modem support, and codec transcoding, while also executing address and port translations to ensure privacy and conceal network topology. Additionally, it offers features such as billing and call detail record (CDR) normalization, quality-of-service (QoS) optimization, bandwidth management, as well as media services that include forking and proxying capabilities. Moreover, CUBE can be implemented either on Cisco routers or as a virtual solution on Cisco UCS servers, accommodating centralized, distributed, or hybrid deployment strategies, which makes it versatile for various organizational needs. This adaptability allows businesses to tailor their communication infrastructure to meet evolving demands effectively.

Description

FRAFOS has developed the ABC Session Border Controller (SBC), a versatile solution tailored for VoIP service providers and enterprises, which can operate seamlessly on high-performance hardware, dedicated appliances, and virtual environments. This SBC provides robust session border control, signaling mediation, call routing, and sophisticated media server functionalities, effectively catering to the evolving demands of VoIP and Next Generation Networks (NGN). Among its notable features are the Cluster Configuration Manager (CCM) for centralized management of multiple SBCs, integrated support for announcements and transcoding directly on the device, and the ability to record calls using SIPREC. Additionally, the ABC SBC bolsters network security through mechanisms such as rate limiting, content control, topology hiding, and media management, which collectively mitigate risks of fraud and denial-of-service attacks. Furthermore, it is capable of handling up to 5,000 concurrent calls on standard hardware and provides load balancing for VoIP traffic, making it a highly effective tool in modern communication infrastructures. Its comprehensive feature set ensures that it meets the demands of a wide range of users, from small enterprises to large service providers.
