15 Why E-SBCs are essential for VoIP Services

16 E-SBC functions and benefits The E-SBC is an essential component of business migration to SIP Trunking and hosted applications E-SBCs help you achieve: Secured boundary Interoperability Remote workers connectivity Gradual migration to IP Branch survivability Advanced quality assurance

17 Why Service Providers need E-SBC Don t touch your core network SBC Reduce churn and blame Shorter time to service Increase service adoption rate Connect with Enterprise mobility and UC

18 Draw a clear point-of-demarcation Service Provider Core SBC Core SBC protects your core network, but not the enterprise network Internet Bad Stuff E-SBC draws a clear and secure enterprise boundary SIP Trunk Enterprise SBC Your SIP Trunks Enterprise LAN The Enterprise local network elements

19 Interoperability it s a two way traffic UC, IP-PBX & Contact Centers SoftSwitch, Application Servers SIP Trunking Service Providers

36 Migration Strategies from TDM to IP

37 The Move to VoIP is Gradual Enterprise equipment TDM PBX IP PBX Analog and digital phones IP Phones and mobile VoIP External calling connectivity PSTN SIP Trunking Work at home On premise Off premise

38 PSTN is here to stay for a while AudioCodes E-SBCs provide PSTN connectivity Service Provider PSTN Gradual migration to IP Fallback voice service Emergency calling Enterprise while many other E-SBCs do not support PSTN

39 TDM to IP Connectivity 1. SIP Trunking as you are PSTN TDM PBX TDM Phones Media Gateway Media Gateway provides TDM-based enterprises with connectivity to SIP Trunks and PSTN fallback SIP Trunking Service Provider

40 IP to TDM Connectivity 2. Migration to VoIP equipment IP-PBX PSTN LAN IP Phones Media Gateway TDM PBX TDM Phones Same Media Gateway provides IP to TDM (PSTN) connectivity

41 IP to IP Connectivity 3. VoIP equipment & services LAN IP-PBX Local Emergency calling PSTN IP Phones E-SBC Same Media Gateway platform is software upgradeable to E-SBC, full IP-to-IP connectivity SIP Trunking Service Provider

42 Two solutions use the same hardware Over-the-top Service Provider Bundled Services Provider E-SBC MSBG (with E-SBC)

43 Multi Service Business Gateway All in one box MSBG functions Access Router LAN Switch VoIP Gateway IP-PBX (on OSN server) SIP Normalization E-SBC & Firewall Multiple service providers PSTN fallback & Life Line
