Sonus Deploys NBS

Sonus Networks Inc., a supplier of service provider VoIP infrastructure solutions, on Tuesday announced the availability of a new Network Border Switch (NBS) designed to provide IP peering and security capability to both smaller IP-based voice networks and less densely populated regions of larger IP-based networks.

“Sonus has always led the innovation curve, delivering sophisticated products that help network operators follow the migration path towards an all-IP network infrastructure,” said Hassan Ahmed, chairman and CEO, Sonus Networks. “The latest NBS product does just that, enabling network operators to deploy a carrier-class solution that protects the integrity of their networks when connecting via IP to either enterprises or other IP-based networks.”

Sonus NBS combines session control, PSTN gateway services and security into a single, system. The product is a purpose-built IP-based solution that allows network operators to leverage the system’s media handling functionality; extensive IP signaling options that include SIP, SIP-T and H.323; network address and port translation features that protect the privacy of the internal private network topology; session-based firewall functionality; and advanced traffic control features. NBS is supported by Sonus GSX4000.
