Handling Critical SIP Issues in IP Network Rollouts:
Border Elements to the Rescue!!

Register Today

As the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) continues its migration toward IP, this creates both opportunities and challenges. In principle, the new models for building communication services which use SIP as the session protocol are a major step forward, but what if two SIP-enabled network elements use different flavors of SIP? What if voice is encoded differently as a call crosses two adjacent networks? Can a carrier keep its IP infrastructure shielded when peering with another carrier? The traditional solution for addressing many of these cases has been to buy an additional device, the Session Border Controller, but this adds cost to the operator's network, and may not fully address the media handling requirements for many applications.

 

For all-IP environments, new elements are required that can mediate signaling, transcode among different media formats, and handle important security issues. Dialogic has developed the concept of the Multimedia Border Element (MMBE) to meet these needs.

 

This webinar reviews the Multimedia Border Element and focuses on how it can help operators bring IP-based communication services to market faster and reduce costs by:

Learn How to Handle Critical SIP Issues in an All-IP Environment
  • Combining essential session and media translation features in single network device
  • Resolving differences between the SIP implementations of different vendors
  • Providing media translation for voice, fax and tones as they cross from between network that utilize different conventions
  • Masking IP network topology when peering between different carriers
