Dialogic (www.dialogic.com) has introduced Enterprise Session Border Control (SBC) and Media Gateway products this month.

The turnkey BorderNet 500 Gateways are designed to enable rapid development of SIP-based communications services and widespread delivery of SIP trunking and hosted SIP services with a single border element (i.e box) to work on nearly any enterprise network architecture and customer premise communications system (i.e. PBX).

BorderNet 500 Gateways are the first products available in the new Dialogic BorderNet family, combining enterprise SBC functionality with “any-to-any” media gateway functionality, so businesses can get with SIP even if still on a legacy TDM/PSTN infrastructure.

SBC features of the BorderNet 500 Gateways include secure firewall traversal of real-time SIP traffic through the enterprise network edge –- well, that’s what you’d expect with SBCs – as well as SIP interoperability tools and configuration templates for over 40 carriers.  Optional interfaces and protocols are available for T1/E1, PRI, CAS, ISDN BRI PSTN and PBX protocols and interfaces. BorderNet 500 Gateways also deliver SIP security at the network edge, greatly reducing the threat of denial of service attacks, SPAM and SPIT attacks, in addition to a number of other SIP security concerns. The enterprise-class BorderNet 500 Gateways are available in multiple 1U rack mountable chassis configurations.

Goodness is expected in seamless SIP [...]]]>

Among the news I’m catching up on from IT EXPO East 2010 is the team up between Dialogic and Ingate to build Ingate’s SIP Trunking software module into a new enterprise border element designed to connect “virtually any” (well, it is virtual…) SIP trunk with virtually any PBX.

Goodness is expected in seamless SIP trunk deployments in legacy TDM and hybrid PBX environments, as well as new SIP-based PBX systems. Ingate’s SIP trunking software module provides enterprise session border control (SBC) along with advanced routing capabilities for connecting SIP trunks to enterprise networks and branch offices by using Ingate’s proxy-based traversal and security technology. The software is also designed to resolve interop issues between service provider SIP services and the SIP-based systems being deployed inside corporate data networks.

Dialogic’s contribution is media gateway technologies to provide the protocols and interfaces necessary to connect to a wide variety of legacy phone and network equipment, both TDM and IP. The new enterprise border element from Dialogic will combine the functions normally found in a media gateway and an enterprise session border controller into a single product.

Dialogic plans to make a first set of enterprise border elements available later this year, with configurations offering SIP trunking, legacy PBX connectivity through the usual suspects (PRI/E1/T1 and ISDN BRI).
