  • 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.

  • 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.
