Taming OPEX and CAPEX using Network-adaptive SBCs

As networks become more complex, carriers require solutions that can cost-effectively scale in step with the network. The first generation of SBCs provided simple interconnection and security between IP networks. Each SBC required its own management interface and did not provide visibility to the other end of the connection. As networks increase in both scale and complexity, operating costs skyrocket. Scaling standalone SBCs requires the duplication of redundant functionality throughout the network which becomes unmanageable.
A Network-Adaptive Border Controller, the next-generation of SBC, reduces OPEX costs by providing centralized management and control of distributed SBCs so that carriers have one routing interface, one billing record, and one source of FCAPs information.
After the presentation, the Webinar will be open for a live Q&A. Be sure to have your questions ready!
