Next-generation cloud enabled Session Border Controllers (SBC) provide robust security, simplified interoperability, advanced session management, and carrier grade reliability at residential and business access network borders of communication service providers. Access SBCs and Interconnect SBCs both manage and secure signaling and media functions in next-generation architectures, such as those defined by the 3GPP LTE Advanced standards, but they have distinctly different responsibilities.
The primary interfaces used to access the SBC is the Embedded Management Application (EMA) GUI, EMA in Platform Mode GUI, Command Line Interface (CLI) and BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) GUI, Representational State Transfer Application Processing Interface (REST API ) and Simple Object Access Protocol Application Processing Interface (SOAP API).
