Network Border Switch (NBS) Advantages

Carrier-class platform: NBS is based on the market-leading GSX9000 platform, ensuring a scalable, reliable network border control and toll-quality voice.

CAPEX and OPEX efficiencies: By integrating security, session control and media control into a single platform, the NBS provides high asset utilization, investment protection and network border operational efficiencies.

Expanded revenue opportunities: Advanced NBS features, such as transcoding between codec types, add new revenue opportunities to carriers’ service portfolios.

Easy deployment: The NBS enables carriers to easily establish peering relationships to expand their market presence by supporting connectivity between networks that may have conflicting or disjointed IP address space.

Flexible deployment: The NBS supports both carrier-to-carrier and carrier-to premise deployments as well as TDM and IP interconnection, offering a flexible, cost–effective solution for designing, deploying and maintaining IP-voice networks.

Easy-to-Use Network Management: The NBS is easily managed by the Sonus Insight™ Management System, which allows service providers to leverage existing Operations Support Systems (OSS) while maintaining tight control of their packet voice infrastructure. Sonus Insight includes two main applications: the Element Management System (EMS) for configuration, provisioning and alarm reporting; and the DataStream Integrator (DSI™) for billing mediation and performance data. Both the Insight EMS and DSI seamlessly integrate into existing back-office systems.
