Dialogic® BorderNet™ 2020 Session Border Controller

BorderNet 2020 Gateway

BorderNet SBCs Supercharge Connections Between Networks, Services and Subscribers With Ease and Scale

The Dialogic® BorderNet™ 2020 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.

White Paper

  • LTE: A New Competitive Paradigm for Mobile Broadband
    This paper is an attempt to explain the high-level architecture standards and issues, and, of course, the "lingo" of the LTE community to those who are familiar with communications technology but who lack in-depth knowledge of the mobile industry.
  • Finding Success in a Multi-Screen World
    This white paper surveys the reasons why multi-screen services are so attractive, the role of the network operator in an expanded ecosystem, industry drivers, and technical challenges.
  • Beyond the Session Border Controller: Accelerating the Move to IP with Multimedia Border Elements
    For all-IP environments, new elements are required that can mediate signaling, transcode among different media formats, and handle basic security issues. Dialogic has developed the concept of the Multimedia Border Element (MMBE) to meet these needs.
  • SIP Trunking: Deployment Considerations at the Network Edge
    This paper provides an overview of SIP trunking and the benefits it can bring to the enterprise. It also provides information about how to address issues at the enterprise network edge when deploying a SIP trunking service.
  • Session Border Controllers: Rationalizing the Border of the Network

    As service providers transform their networks more and more to IP, they are taking on a new role that involves the orchestration off applications and content from multiple participants in the service delivery supply chain. This translates into multiple networks - both internal and external to service providers - for providing end-to-end services to customers. The multiplying capabilities and expanding capacities of Session Border Controllers (SBCs) have become central to this evolution to IP-to-IP interworking and can help service providers as they endeavor to improve performance and cope successfully with spiraling traffic volumes and complexity.

    From once being looked upon as primarily a security device, SBCs have taken on an expanded role for fostering successful connectivity and providing high quality IP service. They can provide vital support for SIP normalization, QoS, NAT traversal, IPv4-IPv6 interworking and support for a host of value added services, and much more.

  • The Growing Importance of HD Voice

    This white paper provides an introduction to HD Voice and discusses its current adoption rate and future potential, including use case examples which paint a picture that HD Voice upgrades to certain network and enterprise infrastructure will be seen as important, and perhaps as a necessity to many.

  • IP Packet Exchange - Interconnecting the IP User Experience

    As the industry moves more towards full-scale IP networks, the issue of interconnecting diverse networks and different service providers - each with its own IP network(s) - becomes more important to resolve in order to support the seamless delivery of next generation services. There will be concerns for security and end-to-end quality of service (QoS) to be addressed to make sure the different “moving parts” that make up these services are delivered to the customer in the expected manner.  It will be important to set up the mechanism by which all the participants in the service delivery supply chain are compensated for the value they provide to the overall end-to-end service.

    The GSMA IP eXchange (IPX) provides a visionary approach to the challenges fixed and mobile service providers have with interworking IP-based services and networks. It provides multiple, service-aware connectivity models that provide QoS as well as cost efficient, optimal routing of IP traffic. The same platform can be extended to bridge the gap between IP and legacy TDM networks.
