Frequently Asked Questions
What is a session border controller and why do I need one?
A session border controller (SBC) is a critical security and performance device that sits at the edge of your network to manage, control and protect multimedia communications. The Ribbon SBC 7000 handles SIP signaling, enforces policies, transcodes media, and provides security against threats — essential for service providers and enterprises managing high volumes of voice, video and collaboration traffic.
Does the SBC 7000 support IPv6 migration?
Yes. The Ribbon SBC 7000 includes IPv4-IPv6 interworking capabilities, allowing you to seamlessly transition your network infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with legacy IPv4 systems. This future-proofs your investment as you evolve toward IPv6.
How does the modular design help with scaling?
The fully modular chassis design enables rapid scaling of your network without complete replacement. You can add capacity incrementally to handle growing traffic volumes while preparing for future expansion — reducing capital expenditure and operational disruption.
What media transcoding capabilities does the SBC 7000 offer?
The SBC 7000 provides high-density media transcoding for audio, video and collaboration streams, allowing you to convert between different codecs and formats in real-time. This ensures compatibility across diverse endpoints and optimizes bandwidth utilization across your network.
