Abstract

With voice over IP (VoIP) demand increasing within mid-size enterprises and branch offices, it is important to provide the headroom to support large volumes of concurrent calls. Similarly, improved ease-of-use for setup and management of session border controllers (SBC) makes for an overall improvement in the value proposition.

Sonus Networks commissioned Tolly to evaluate the performance of its Sonus SBC 1000 Session Border Controller and compare that to the AudioCodes Mediant 1000B SBA-ES. Additionally, Tolly was asked to evaluate the setup and select features of the SBCs.

Tolly found that the Sonus SBC 1000 provides higher concurrent SIP sessions than the comparable AudioCodes solution in a number of scenarios and provides easy setup and key connectivity and security features.
