Dialogic® BorderNet™ 2020 Session Border Controller

BorderNet 2020 Gateway

Provides interworking for media and signaling between IP and PSTN networks and within all-IP networks

The Dialogic® BorderNet™ Session Border Controller (SBC) combines session border controller functionality with IP and TDM gateway capabilities in a compact 1U form factor appliance offering the potential for significant reductions in capital and operating expenses when compared to less integrated alternatives.

The BorderNet 2020 SBC transforms media and signaling to support efficient and reliable voice, fax and multimedia sessions for mobile and cloud-based applications.   The BorderNet 2020 SBC secures sessions across IP and mixed network boundaries in support of service level agreements. 

Along with providing a broad range of scalability in a small footprint, the BorderNet 2020 SBC handles signaling and media in a single carrier-grade chassis and can deliver SIP services into SS7, SIGTRAN, PRI, and SIP-I networks. The BorderNet 2020 SBC also manages sessions through capabilities that include SIP mediation, SIP-to-H.323 interworking, SIP back-to-back user agent (B2BUA), and IP-to-IP transcoding of voice and video for network access applications.

High Density and Versatility

With its high density and versatility, the BorderNet 2020 SBC can help wireless and wireline service providers add new Value-Added Services (VAS) quickly, and provide a clear migration path to an all-IP network. The 2020 SBC is also an excellent option for retail, wholesale, and enhanced service VoIP deployments, as well as contact centers and mobile VAS.

The BorderNet 2020 SBC also offers energy efficiency and hardware components where hazardous substances have been minimized, which can help operators and contact centers seeking to fulfill "green" initiatives.

Easy Management and Fast Maintenance

1U high-density design, element management system, and software licensing that allows in-service capacity expansion make the BorderNet 2020 SBC easy to manage and scale. Its NEBS-3 carrier-ready design uses independent network interfaces to separate transport, signaling, and OAM&P for reliability and enhanced service availability.

Fast maintenance features, such as hot-swappable power supplies, field-replaceable motherboard trays, and graceful upgrades address the flexibility and ease of operation that carriers need and increases reliability in the field.

The BorderNet 2020 SBC also features the Dialogic® Programmable Protocol Language (PPL), which allows rapid implementation of SS7 ISUP variants and other signaling changes.
