SBC 7000™

Service providers and large enterprises are facing a torrent of demand for multimedia communications
applications across global markets. The Ribbon SBC 7000 is a purpose-built session border controller withindustry-leading performance and scale that deliver increased operational efficiency and uncompromised
quality of service to help securely and efficiently handle and monetize the massive amount of audio, video
and collaboration traffic crossing their networks. The SBC 7000 not only provides the critical features
service providers and large enterprises equate with Ribbon Session Border Controllers (robust security,
sophisticated routing and policy management, overload controls and SIP normalization), it also delivers IPv4IPv6 interworking, high density media transcoding, and sophisticated policy at high performance levels tomeet the increasing demands of multimedia communications. To further simplify deployment, the SBC 7000
implements a fully modular chassis design, enabling service providers and large enterprises to rapidly scale
today’s networks while preparing for future growth.
