The nCiteTM 1000 Session Border Controllers (SBCs) are designed and tested in conjunction with leading IP Communication Carriers and independent third party labs ensuring that products meet or exeed the functional and operational requirements of Service Providers globally. This cost-effective platform is designed for small, medium Service Providers and large enterprises. The nCite1000 is optimized for operators that start to deploy VoIP hosted services or to interconnect their network with other VoIP carriers.
Session Border Controllers resolve the peering, latency, quality of service, capacity and control issues preventing widespread commercial deployment of VoIP. The SBC is a transparent addition to existing VoIP networks than enable Carriers and Service Providers to fylly realize PSTN parity-resulting in a reduction of cost and increased revenue through the interconection of VoI islands. VoIP networks are typically built as "island networks"due to complexities associated with IP interconection or peering (such as address overlap and security firewalls). The lack of scalability in curren VoIP deplyments is compounded by the lack of performance parity with the PSTN. Many indicators include the tremendous growth of IP PBXs and the adoption of VoIP and SIP-based products. nCite SBC support three main application areas for wireline and dwireless networks: Residential, Carriet to Carrier Peering and Enterprise.
nCite integrates both signaling and media in a sinble platform to securely and reliably deliver VoIP applications: voice, video and multimedia sessions across IP network borders.
